Is there a way to set up bookings for calendars you have created for yourself besides your default?

Question

I don't use my primary/default calendar (I needed to be able to give it a specific name). Is there a way to create bookings for the other calendars I have created, or is that limited to the default calendar only? If you can do this, could someone walk me through how to do it?

I haven't been able to find a way to create bookings for any calendars other than my default one. Or is there a way to rename my default calendar (and if so, is there a way to transfer all items from one calendar to another - so I don't lose the history)?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm Ric. If the main issue is the name of your default calendar, you can rename it so it looks the way you want. If you’ve already been using another calendar for your events, you could also export those items and move them into the default one so you don’t lose your history.

Please try these steps:

1. Go to Outlook on the web.
2. In the left pane, find Calendar and locate your default calendar (usually just called “Calendar”).
3. Right-click on it and select Rename.
4. Type in the new name you’d like and press Enter.

Let me know if you need further help.

I'm sorry for this, you are right. Can you please try this workaround?

• Create a new calendar with the name you want, but Bookings will still only check your default calendar for availability.
• Move or copy your events from the calendar you’ve been using into the default one so Bookings sees them. More info here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/import-or-subscribe-to-a-calendar-in-outlook-com-or-outlook-on-the-web-cff1429c-5af6-41ec-a5b4-74f2c278e98c.
• Please leave a feedback at Outlook (Help > Feedback), to help Microsoft know what options are needed by consumers.
