Office 365 Shared Calendar Not Showing in Outlook 2016Knowledge article KB00014612

Symptom

A calendar has been shared, but is only viewable to the person it has been shared with in Webmail, not the Outlook client.

Resolution/Workaround

This is a known issue for calendars that are in the Office 365 cloud. Outlook clients are only able to see events on a shared Office 365 calendar if they are granted Reviewer rights or above.

Outlook client users must be granted (from least access to most): Reviewer, Nonediting Author, Author, Publishing Author, Editor, Publishing Editor, or Owner access to the shared calendar

Once permission level of Reviewer or greater is granted, you can customize the specific rights from there as appropriate. The Outlook client user should still be able to see the shared calendar events.

Permission Level - Set to Reviewer with Read, Write, Delete and folder visibility privileges.
