How Can I Import a Calendar in the New Outlook for Windows (Business)?

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.

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

    Totally agree, the current version of Outlook desktop that I got with my new laptop is not even what I would have turned over to a Quality Assurance team internal to the development department, much less released to the public.

    The only silver lining here is that this relentless decline is product quality and continuity is making it much more palatable to just ****-can MS Office altogether, since there is increasingly little value in staying with it.
