Premise:

    This article shows how you can add Public Calendars to the Calendars tab of Outlook.

    Two important examples of such calendars are the 'Conference Room Schedule' which is used to reserve conference rooms, and the 'Brookville Calendar' which shows when employee's have scheduled time off or out of office.

Instructions:


    Open the Folders tab at the bottom left of outlook. Note: you may need to click the 'triple-dots', or 'boxes', for more options to see the Folder tab.

"Triple-Dots" options button

'Boxes" options button


    Then expand the 'Public Folders - YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS' folder, right click calendar you wish to add, (in this example the Conference room Calendar) and click Add to favorites.



    After that, the calendar should now show up in the "Other Calendars" list in your Calendar tab.
