Shared Calendar Outlook For Mac
This is a great choice if you require your Outlook for Mac data in Google Calendar and Contacts for other reasons. CompanionLink for Google sync can be set automatically and will run in background on your PC. Disadvantages: Uses DejaCloud as a hub. Direct Google Sync will be available in Winter 2016.
As you create a meeting invitation you are able to see whether others are free or busy, but you aren't able to see any other information about their schedule (such as the meeting title, who is invited, or where it's taking place). But if someone has chosen to, you'll be able to look at the items in more detail. Depending on the level of access they've granted you, you may also be able to modify items.
To view another person's shared calendar, complete the following steps. Once you've done this, you'll see their calendar listed under My Calendars in the Calendar section of your Navigation Pane every time you use Outlook. • From the Organize tab of the ribbon, click Open Shared Calendar.
• In the Open Calendar dialog box, type all or part of the person's name (or their NetID). Select the person you're looking for then click Open. In the Navigation Pane, under Shared Calendars you should now see an additional calendar with the person's name.

I'm using Outlook 2016 on my mac connecting to office 365. I can add shared calendars fine, and most calendars work absolutely without an issue for calendars that have permissions set to User = Default, Role = Reviewer. But on some calendars where the Properties are set to User = Default, Role = Free/Busy, time, subject, location (i.e. The owner of the calendar doesn't want me to see the notes on the meeting), I can't see any appointments at all.
It simply shows a blank calendar. When I use Outlook 2013 on Windows with the same account, I can see the calendar entries for that use just fine. Does anyone have a pointer on how to make Outlook 2016 respect the privacy settings of the shared calendar but still display the appointments as it should? Outlook 2011 users must be granted 'Reviewer' access to another person's calendar to be able open that calendar and view details.
If a user sets permission levels only to allow free/busy or free/busy limited details, an Outlook 2011 user will not be able to see any details of the shared calendar. PC users must grant 'full details' to the Outlook 2011 user. Mac users must grant the 'Reviewer' role to Outlook 2011 users. Basic free/busy time viewing is only viewable via the Outlook 2011 Scheduling Assistant feature, or via OWA. Os x uninstall jdk. (Note: Outlook 2011 users who have a 'Reviewer' role may also be able to select another users name within the Send As / From drop down menu. Unless you have explicit permissions to Create Items within the selected users mailbox, Exchange will not allow you to send on the behalf of that person).
Above is true for Outlook 2016.
