Family Calendar Missing

Hi.

My family and I have created a Microsoft family group. When clicking the 'plan family events' link in the family home page we are all taken to our personal calendars but there is no 'Family Calendar' under the 'Other Calendars' list. Can someone please suggest a cause of this issue and/or a remedy?

The family calendar has never been visible for any of us and we created the family group approx. 48 hours ago.

Thanks.

Ross

    Same on Android. You can only see the family calendar in the Outlook app, and not in other calendar apps on the phone. I went back to Google because of this, as it meant I couldn't use calendar widgets and see my family calendar in it.

    This is what I had. I'm not sure why it isn't the same for everyone else

    Meanwhile, I have spoken to MS re: the Family Calendar disappearing from the desktop client. They advised: 

    As I checked from my side, the issue is from Outlook.com server and our developers are acknowledged about this inconvenience problem that cause to our dedicated customers. Thus, they are investigating and working to fix this issue. 

    They do not have a timescale for the fix at this point.

    I suggest going through the virtual agent (which won't help) to get to a real person to flag the issue - the more noise the greater the effort they put in.

    I have also sent a tweet to the @Outlook team; I suggest everyone does the same:

    I've also got a support ticket open.  If they suggest something else, I'll follow up here.  I'm going to point my support engineer to this thread as well.

    This worked for me.  Thanks.

    I still can't seem to view my family calendar from within Outlook 365 though.
