Can I sync or view Outlook calendars across domain?

HangTime · 27 Apr 2021 at 09:26

Background: I have two completely separate domain accounts that have their own independent calendar entries. This can make diary management a bit confusing e.g. needing to constantly flip between calendars to see what appointments I have coming up, having to always cross-check before creating/accepting a meeting invite, etc.

What I would like is some way to view appointments from both domains on the same calendar. Is this possible? I know a crude approach would be to simply forward every appointment to the other domain account, but typically that gets broadcast to the meeting organiser and might look a bit naff.

edit: Above is sorted - Next question is, is there a way I can automatically have Calendar A marked as busy for periods when Calendar B is marked as busy? To avoid people booking meetings for account A on top of slots that are already taken by meetings for account B, but they can't see that because they don't have access to calendar B?

There's a share button where you input an email. The recipeint then receives an email with a hyperlink to your calendar.

You could do a side by side view of both calendars if you add the second one in as an additional mailbox in Outlook. Then click on calendar and tick which ones you wish to see

Thanks, for some reason when I tried last week I couldn't get the additional mailbox added, but it's working today. With the extra account added and Overlay enabled it is now doing what I want

You can drag and drop the appointment between calendars to copy it between the two.
