Working with multiple calendars in Outlook on the web

Outlook on the web lets you view more than one calendar at a time. The calendars might be yours, or they might be a combination of your calendars and calendars from people inside and outside of your organization. For information about calendar sharing and adding calendars that belong to other people to your calendar view, see Share your calendar in Outlook on the web.

Note: Sign in to Outlook on the web using your Office 365 work or school account.

    Right-click an existing calendar group to create or open a new calendar in the group, or to rename or delete the group.

Note: You can only rename or delete calendar groups you've created. You can't move a calendar between calendar groups.

Add or remove calendars from your calendar view

More options

  • You can rename, delete, share, update permissions, or change the color and charm of calendars that you own. Select the calendar, and then right-click to open the menu.

  • If you’ve added a calendar that belongs to someone else to your calendar view, right-click to rename, remove, change the color, or change the charm of that calendar. If you remove a calendar that belongs to someone else, it won't be deleted.

  • You can add and view as many calendars as you want to your account. The color of each calendar lets you know what items belong to which calendar.

  • You can view as many calendars as you want. In merged view, you'll be able to see all of the calendars at once. In split view, you might have to scroll horizontally to see all of them.

  • You can view the Day, Week, or Work week views in either merged or split view. You can turn split view on or off using the toggle in the calendar view selector at the top of the calendar window.

    Select calendar view or turn split view on or off.

If you own more than one calendar, you can choose which calendar to create an event in by selecting it from the drop-down list at the top of the new event window.
