Microsoft’s Outlook Calendar is often the calendar of choice for businesses. What are some of the things you need to know about it? What are some helpful tips on using it? What does it look like? Below is a screenshot of Outlook on in the browser. I’m using Microsoft 365. I can log in to the admin center and then choose the Outlook app from the app launcher (upper right corner square series of 9 dots). The I chose the Calendar app on the left almost at the very top.

Settings

In your Outlook Calendar, the first thing you could do is set your working days and hours. Here below is a screenshot of Settings. I changed the hours from an 8 am start to a 9 am start.

You can add week numbers to your calendar, as well as time zones. For the week numbers, go to Settings, Calendar and View. Check the check box for adding week numbers.

Viewing Calendars Together

You can view in overlay mode and have two or more calendars be seen as one calendar with the appointments combined. Go to the View tab at he top (while looking at the Calendar) and click the Overlay button.
