Microsoft 365 (Outlook on the Web) - What You'll See in Calendar

Add meetings, appointments, and other events to your calendar in the Outlook Web App and track and share with others. Your calendar in the Outlook Web App lets you create and track appointments and meetings. You can create multiple calendars, link to other people’s calendars, and even share your calendar with other people at Parkland College.

Quickly view event details

You can choose any event in your calendar to see a quick view of that event. An event that you create shows you as the creator and includes a link to edit or delete the event.

Quick view of an event

A meeting that you've been invited to shows the organizer and includes links to respond to the invitation. If the organizer includes an online meeting invitation, you'll see a link to join the meeting.

You can join the meeting by clicking the Green check mark!

Day View:

The day view is most useful if you have a busy schedule or if you want to view multiple schedules side by side. The controls remain the same, only the view has changed.

Week View:

Week is the default view when you first visit your calendar in Outlook on the web. You can change the default to Day, Work week, or Month by using the options in the upper-right corner.
