Hi @Braun, Josephine,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

If you're trying to make SharePoint Events visible to anyone scanning a QR code (including visitors who aren't logged into your organization), here's how to proceed:

1. Check your site type and permissions

• Make sure you're using a Communication site (not a Team site connected to a Microsoft 365 group).
• Go to Settings at the top-right corner > Site Permissions > Advances permission settings (at the bottom) > Grant Permissions
• In the share dialog, enter “Everyone"
• Click Show Options > Read > Share.

To allow anonymous visitors (no sign-in required):

• Your SharePoint admin must enable external sharing at both the tenant and site level.
• If anonymous access is not allowed by your org’s policy, this won’t work.

At the tenant:

• Go to Microsoft 365 admin center > choose SharePoint in the left pane
• In the SharePoint admin center, choose Policies > Sharing > set sharing to Anyone.

At the site level:

• In the SharePoint admin center, choose Sites > Active sites > click on your site
• Under Settings tab, choose Anyone at External file sharing.

2. Share the Events Web Part on a public page

• Create a new page on your site (e.g., “Upcoming Events”).
• Add the Events web part and point it to your event calendar/list.
• Publish the page.
• Click Share and select “Anyone with the link can view” (if available).
  • If this option is greyed out, your org does not allow anonymous access.

Now generate a QR code for that link. Anyone scanning it should see the events if anonymous sharing is enabled.
