Learn how to share your calendar with other users in your company, and how to view their calendars as well.  In this video, we will share our calendar with another user, and then we will open that user’s calendar side-by-side with our own.

Ok, now learn how to view multiple calendars in different ways. In this video, we will go over the three different views when working with multiple calendars. The side-by-side view allows you to see multiple calendars right next to each other. The overlay view allows you to have one calendar on top, with the others behind that calendar. You can then easily click on the tab for the calendar you wish to bring up front. Finally, the schedule view is useful when you need to see availability of the users when scheduling appointments.
