Adding a Shared Calendar to a Phone
Introduction
- Download the Outlook app from any available app store.
- Open the Outlook app and press the button labeled “Calendar” at the bottom of the screen.
- In the top left, press the circular image to open the calendar window. (The image will be the UIC logo, a silhouette, or your profile picture – depending on your setup.)
- Press the plus icon on the top left of the screen after the window opens
- Press the “Add a shared Calendar” button at the bottom of the screen.
- Type in the name of the calendar that you would like to add. For Phase 1 students, the calendar names are “UICOMP-M1 Calendar” or “UICOMP-M-2 Calendar”
- Press the plus icon to the right of the calendar that you would like to add.
- The device will return you to the calendar window. Make sure the calendar was added. You may need to press the “Show More” button under “Other Calendars” drop down menu to see the newly added calendar.
- To see the newly added calendar press the empty box so that a checkmark appears. (If there is already a checkmark next to the calendar, skip this step.)
- Press anywhere outside of the calendar window to close it and view your Outlook calendar schedule, which should now show the new calendar in the same color as the checkmark box that was to the left of the calendar name in the calendar window.
