I am an IT Support Consultant and have a customer who isn't seeing all of her shared calendars when switching over to the new Outlook. Has anyone else had this issue? Here is a screenshot that shows the differences between current and new Outlook. You can see that there are calendars missing from new Outlook:

    Everyone is struggling with this update. We can only await MSFT's update to the app or raise enough noise online to have it fixed within a week. Real pain in the hind this one.

    Having the same issue at my institution. Leaders have instructed us to just use the old outlook. This stinks since I do like the new UI more, but cannot access our company shared calendar using suggested methods.

    This worked for me too. Clean, simple, and correct. Too bad that there are so many misleading and incorrect responses from Microsoft which made this process a real pain in the ****.

    I continue to have trouble with the new Outlook calendar. In the old one, it was easy to add to my weekly calendar view another person's calendar with Add + --> Open shared calendar --> type the name of the person. I could see the weekly schedule of the person for purposes of checking for free times. It was reliable and easy. I have so many hundred people I work with that searching someone's name on the left hand side listing of people is impossible. As a user I would wish to:

    • Get the old function back - primarily.
    • If this is not possible, have the function to keep the people on the left-hand menu alphabetized by last name.
