Add additional Calendars to the To-Do Bar
Add additional Calendars to the To-Do Bar.
Outlook 2016 only allows you to view the events located in your default calendar in your to-do bar. Having a feature to add multiple calendars overlapped in the to-do bar calendar would provide a better understanding of my daily schedule. One particular calendar I'd like to add to the to-do bar viewing is a shared calendar so using only categorize to filter is not a viable option.
Having a feature like this would allow for an easier way to view your schedule at a glance in the to-do bar.

Please add, it's a must for anyone with multiple calendars.

It's crazy that this doesn't exist to be honest. MS - Make it happen!

Woudl be really helpful if all calendars and not just default appeared in the right hand to-do bar. Tasks from all accounts appear, so why not calendar entries too?

I have 10 separate and different calendars, but my To-Do-Bar is always empty.
To-Do-Bar is at the moment useless ****! -

only the main calendar is visible in the Taskbar / Calendar taskbar. It is not possible to add additional custom calendars to your view. At first glance at the task bar, you can not see all of my events that can be included in other or other calendars. You see only tasks in main calendar. You have to switch to calendar view to see all events across my own calendars.
So please add the option to enable or select to display additional calendars in the task bar. -

Apple has had this feature on it's iOS devices for well over 10 years, yet Microsoft still has no options for this. Having both a company Exchange account, and a Live.com or Outlook.com account is commonplace, so this is more than a little stupid on Microsoft's part. BTW, the iOS calendars work across ALL calendar, and is selectable by a simple touch.

Certainly needed. I use a work and personal calendar in Outlook and have to manually switch from one to another to see my tasks for the day.

This is a MUST! These days, a lot of people have work calendars and home calendars, and the home calendars are often shared with other family members who do not use Outlook/should not have access to work appointment details. Having only my work calendar viewable at a glance is basically useless if I can't see my personal calendar too. I've actually accidentally double booked things because I couldn't see it! This is SO basic. You need to add this.

Really need this for work!!!! We use a shared calendar NOT the default one - need to see my shared calendar in the to do bar. At the moment im sharing all calendar events from shared calendar to my default one just to get them to show up and its SO frustrating!

Actually surprising that this feature does not already exist. It is most common these days for a person to have multiple email accounts configured on Outlook so this is imperative. Rather than adding useless features that no one uses, why don't you guys add one that people have been asking for for years.

I just spend the last hour, trying to figure out how to view multiple calendars in my outlook today view / to-do bar. This seems so basic. How could it not be feature?

Yes, this is a feature that is desperately needed! The crazy thing is: this was how the To-Do Bar calendar worked in the past! MS removed the feature. Very frustrating for heavy outlook users.
MS, PLEASE add this feature back!!! The To-Do Bar Calendar is USELESS w/o multiple calendars. Actually, it is worse then useless, it is HARMFUL. Even though I've been fully aware of this issue for years now, just last week, I accidentally double-booked myself because I though my day was open, and I forgot to check my other calendar. Very frustrating, such an easy fix, too.

I agree this is sorely lacking in Outlook and should be added. The To Do list should include items from all calendars configured in Outlook along with the color scheme set. It's interesting that this feature has been available in Thunderbird for some time, which is a free software.
As is typical, MS is behind the curve of needed features and tends to focus on only what they think is important. Sorry for being critical but after decades of using MS software, both on PC and Mac, their approach has not changed.
