LSUMail: Sharing Your Calendar in Outlook 2016


In Office 2016, you can share your calendar with others so that they know when you are available or busy. They will be able to see your meeting, job, or class times, and any other event that you add to your calendar.

To Share a Calendar in Outlook 2016:

1. Open Outlook 2016.

2. Click the Calendar icon at the bottom left of the Outlook window.

4. Select the To text field underneath the Office ribbon and enter the LSU email address you want to send your calendar to. You can also select an email address from your Address Book, located in the middle section of the Office ribbon.

  • NOTE: You cannot share your calendar this way with someone who does not have an LSU email address. If you want to send your calendar to someone without an LSU email, click the E-mail Calendar button to the left of the Share Calendar button. Your recipient will receive an ICS file that they can import into their personal calendar program.
