Hello!

As a company we need to do an integration between Sharepoint and Outlook calendars.
Basically what we need is to have the Outlook calendars(both personal and shared) visible into the Sharepoint calendar.

I was hoping that the Connect with Outlook feature will do that for us, but it is disabled.

Anyone has any idea why is disabled and how to enable it?

Thanks a lot!

    Hi @Ovi Donciu ,

    First,Can you elaborate more on the list your using? Is it a calendar app on the classic experience?
    The list template type must be a calendar type in order to sync it with Outlook.

    And the “Connect with Outlook” button is available.

    Second, it may be related to browser. If the browser is IE or Chrome., when entering the calendar, you need to manually click any of the "Day, Week, Month" buttons to make the fearture available.
