Add your Office 365 Calendar to a SharePoint Page

I was asked to show a user Outlook calendar on a SharePoint page. You can do this using a SharePoint calendar overlay, however I elected to use the Page Viewer web part. 

Accessing the Office 365 Mail web address;

1. Make sure that you (or the user in question) is logged onto Office 365.
2. Go to your Office 365 home (assuming it’s not heavily branded).
3. Click your Office 365 tiles (on the top left of the page).
4. Once you see the tiles menu, Click the “Mail” tile icon.
5. Once in your Outlook Mail page, Click the gear icon at the top right to access it’s settings.
6. Scroll right down to the bottom. Under “My app settings”, Click the “Mail” link.
7. More Options will open on the left panel. Under the Calendar heading, Click “Publish calendar”.

Notice that on the Publish calendar page, under “Select a calendar” heading “Calendar” is selected and under “Select permissions” heading “Limited details” is selected. If these options aren’t selected, select them and save the page at the top.

This will produce a HTML link that allows us to view the calendar in a browser. This is the first link starting http://ift.tt/29X9YAi… You can see this by Clicking the link, then;

1. Copy this link (…for pasting later).
2. Go to your SharePoint Online site.
3. Edit the page through the gear settings
4. Click “Add a Web Part” to access the web part gallery categories.
5. In the “Media and Content” category, Select the “Page Viewer” web part.

Page Viewer Web Part settings;

1. Once the web part has been added, edit the web part.
2. With the web part in edit mode, Click the ellipses button to access the string builder.
3. Paste the HTML link we copied earlier in the string builder as shown below in Figure 3.
