Do you use Microsoft Exchange at work and want to be able to access your calendar on the go from your smartphone? Sharing your Exchange calendar on your phone is a great way to stay on top of your schedule when you’re away from your desk.

In this article, we’ll walk through the steps to share your Exchange calendar on both iPhone and Android devices. By the end, you’ll be able to view your work calendar right alongside your personal calendar on your phone.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the steps, there are a few prerequisites you’ll need:

• An Exchange account set up on your phone
• Permission to access your Exchange calendar
• The latest version of the Outlook app installed on your phone

If you haven’t already added your Exchange account to your phone, you’ll need to do that first. And your Exchange administrator will need to grant you permission to access your calendar if you don’t already have it.

Steps to Share an Exchange Calendar on iPhone

1. Open the Outlook app on your iPhone and go to the Calendar tab.

2. Tap the calendar menu in the upper left corner.

3. Tap the gear icon to access Calendar settings.

4. Choose “Add People” and select the people you want to share your calendar with. You can share with individuals or groups.

5. Edit permissions by tapping on each person. You can give them permission to view all details, edit, or just see your free/busy status.

6. Tap the checkmark when you’re done to save your changes.

The people you shared with will now receive an email invitation to view your Exchange calendar. Once they accept, they’ll be able to see your calendar in their Outlook app or by logging into Outlook on the web.

Steps to Share an Exchange Calendar on Android

The process to share your Exchange calendar on Android is very similar to iOS:

1. Open the Outlook app and switch to the Calendar view.

2. Tap the menu icon in the top left and select the calendar you want to share.

3. Tap the three dots in the top right and choose Sharing Permissions.

4. Tap the plus sign and enter the name or email of the person you want to share with.

5. Choose their permission level – view all details, edit, or view only free/busy.

6. Tap “Add” to send the sharing invitation.

Again, the recipient will get an email to accept the calendar sharing invitation. After accepting, your Exchange calendar will show up in their calendar list in Outlook.

Viewing a Shared Exchange Calendar on Your Phone

Now that you know how to share your own Exchange calendar, what about viewing a calendar that someone else shared with you? Here’s how:

1. Open the Outlook app and go to the Calendar view.

2. Tap “Add Calendar” at the bottom of the calendar list.

3. Select “Add Shared Calendar”.

4. Start typing the name of the person who shared their calendar with you. Select their name when it appears.

5. Tap the checkmark to add the shared calendar to your view.

You’ll now see the shared Exchange calendar listed right alongside your own calendars in the Outlook app. You can tap the colored circle next to each calendar to show or hide it from your main calendar view.

Conclusion

Sharing your Exchange work calendar on your personal phone is a convenient way to stay connected and on top of your schedule on the go. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily share your calendar with colleagues and view calendars that others have shared with you.

The key is to make sure you have the Outlook app installed on your phone and that your Exchange account is set up. With a few taps, you can configure calendar sharing and have your Exchange and personal calendars synced up.

So next time you’re heading into a meeting or traveling for work, rest assured that your most up-to-date schedule is easily accessible right on your smartphone. Give calendar sharing a try and enjoy the benefits of having your work calendar at your fingertips wherever you go.
