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

    Correct, the other person's answer does not apply to the new Outlook.

    The new Outlook is a work in progress and is missing some features. It's Outlook on the web in an app frame.

    How are you trying to add the calendar? can you add it from Outlook on the web?

    Add Calendar > Upload from file should work to import. (It did here).

    It's April 16, 2024 and appears the problem still isn't fixed!
