I need to share a calendar over Outlook with a lot of individuals. In the old Outlook, you used to be able to import the calendar.
Now, there is an error message and it won't let you import a calendar, as shown below:
Some individuals might have the old Outlook, some might have the new version, but it is not reasonable to request that everyone switch back to the old version of Outlook just to download a calendar.
Is there a new way to import calendars in the new Outlook for Windows (Business)? We have Microsoft 365, FYI.
Thanks.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
New Outlook does not have a File tab. If you want to import a calendar ics file, do it from the calendar module.
Import from the calendar module - Add calendar link > Upload from file
Thanks Lou. Any tips on how I can find the Outlook Classic for purchase or download?
I did just that. Some of the features were great but it was really bad at most. I went back to the "classic" outlook. I just wish it would sync calendars between devices.
Do yourself a favor. Abandon the "New Outlook"/Mail program altogether and just buy and install on your computer the standalone Outlook Classic program for $150 bucks. It works. Does more than you will ever need. Disentangles you from the abomination that is New-Outlook-not-ready-for-prime-time. At least this was my approach after much frustration. Could not be happier.
