Can't publish "Calendar" under "My Calendar"

I cannot publish "my calendar" from Microsoft 365. I can publish the other calendars I have access to (my boss's calendar which I have full editing permissions for) but I cannot publish the one listed simply as "Calendar" under my calendars. I am trying to publish it to an app but cannot get it to provide a URL or ical link.

    I found a temporary workaround!

    1. You can select "Share a calendar" instead of "Publish a calendar".
    2. Put your e-mail address to receive the sync URLs. Select "Can see all details" if that works for you.
    3. You will receive an e-mail message containing two files, but they actually do not matter.
    4. On the e-mail body there will be a bunch of random numbers and letters, followed by an URL ending in .html, and then an URL ending in .ics. Use one of these URLs just as you would if you had published the calendar.

    Just be sure to copy only one of the URLs and nothing more (I accidentally copied both URLs, believing it was just a big one, and it gave me an "Invalid URL" error).

    In my case, I used the .ics URL to sync my Office 365 calendar with my Google Calendar, and it worked, so it should work for you as well (at least until Microsoft solves the issue).

    Good luck. I hope it helps.

    My invite to share did not have URLs but just GUIDs. Thank you!

    This worked for me, but I had to get the ics URL from within the sharing_metadata.xml attachment. Thanks for the insight.

    Worked! But the copy in g-cal doesn't seem to follow the updates happening in the original outlook-calendar. Does that work for you?
