We prioritize your privacy and your calendar is private so of course by default.  But we make it as easy as possible to share your calendar with others. All what you need to do is, click 'Share' in the header menu. When you share a calendar that others can access to the calendar, but as an owner, you determine who can add events to and edit. You can set it up in just a few clicks of the mouse.

You can either privately share the calendar with specific persons (by entering their e-Mail address), or you can click on "Get link", and then email or post this link anywhere you want.  You can also subscribe to change notifications on a shared calendar. So if a parent adds to or an event-a family meal, football game, doctor's appointment changes, make date night-you will be sure that the whole family by e-Mail informed. And can you so many shared calendars as you like.

Whether you're already using Outlook.com for your email, or you are looking for just a new, modern calendar, you can get started with each e-Mail address at Outlook.com calendar , as soon as your account is updated.

We are looking forward to your opinion.
