Show "My Day" todo list on the "My Day" sidebar
Show "My Day" todo list on the "My Day" sidebar in calendar. Currently it shows tasks, but the Todos I've specifically categorized in "my day" in the TODO app don't show up here as a list.

Calendar color choices too limited.
Need more than 7 color choices. We schedule a service desk and need separate colors for each persons calendar. These are calendars, not events so we need the choice in the drop down for the calendar, not in categories.
603 votesThank you for your feedback! The deployment for an option to switch to more saturated calendar colors in the new Outlook on the web is now complete.
If you would like to try out this experience, please click on the gear icon in the top right of your calendar module to access your settings, and toggle “Bold event colors”.

When viewing month in calendar, see list selected day's events on the right
Previous version had this breakdown to the right of the month view. This was useful if I had more than 4 or 5 events on my schedule for the day.

Where is the notification bell?
And also, why does it open a new tab every time I go to the calendar? That's really stupid
459 votesNotification bell has been shipped to all Enterprise users, and we’ve fixed it so that each module opens in the same tab.
By the way, we’re working on adding some new scenarios to the notifications bell. Could you take this survey to let us know what scenarios you are most interested in?
Thanks for the feedback!

Calendar Searching
In the Calendar: Using the old outlook, the search function was able to pull up a coworkers calendar to see their schedule and availability. Using the new outlook, the search function only looked for my events on my own calendars. Please allow other calendars to be searched for.
348 votesWe have completed the work that allows you to search and add a users calendar. After executing a search for a resolved person, you will see an option at the top of the list view that allows you to “Add Calendar”. Once you do this, you will be able to see both calendars together.

Good / Awesome / Great
I love the new calendar view that shows today as double-width. So much better use of screen space for what I care about most.
Best feature I've seen come to outlook in a VERY long time.

Old calendar UI was more readable (fonts/colors)
The old calendar UI (colored blocks with white text) was more readable than the new version. The new version is too bright/harder to look at.

Cannot add New Event into a shared Calendar
In Calendar, you can view a calendar shared among people, but when you click +New Event, it will only allow you to add the Event into a calendar you own. This is not very efficient for a calendar that requires many Events from several different people.
224 votesThanks for using the new Outlook on the web. You can create an event on a shared calendar by selecting the calendar drop down in the title bar of the event creation form.

New Outlook (office 365) - cannot easily see where to add a new shared calendar. Did a fish design the new web interface, it is terrible!

All Day Cal events no longer scroll in Chrome
In the last week, the Office 365 calendar in Chrome browser has stopped scrolling through all day events.
Meaning we have 10 all day events listed, only 5 are displayed and we need to scroll down to see the other five 'all day' events for that day....and it suddenly stopped working.
I hadn't installed a Chrome update prior so assuming the issue was MS based.
Again, this is just scrolling through multiple 'all day' events at the top section of the calendar. Doesn't matter if view is in day, work week or week.
I installed Chrome update after this started…
21 votesWe have fixed this. Thank you for your feedback and bringing attention to this issue!

Could not find Opening calendar from directory
There used to be an option to open others' calendars and I cannot find it now. In the old OWA it's: right click on Other calendars/Open calendar/From directory

Right Side Bar With Full List of Events for Selected Day
The new format is nice but it is missing a key part of the old calendar. The new format needs to include the right side bar that shows the entire list of events for the selected day. This is helpful when there are several events for the day. Without the right side bar it is difficult to see the entire day's events when on month or week view. Please bring this side bar back. It looks like several people want it back.

calendar font size on print out is too small
There are a few issues with the Calendar. As part of daily activities, I print out my daily calendar to keep track of my day.
The calendar print out font is too small to read.
Dark mode prints out with a black background which is not ideal for readability or use.
There is no room for notes.167 votesHello and thank you for your feedback on this. We have made some adjustments to provide larger fonts. Please take another look and let us know what you think!

viewing multiple calendar
When viewing multiple calendars they are just laid on top of each other, yes they are a different color, but i have no idea who's calendar is who's. Also, to turn off one of those calendar, I have to search thru my 50 saved calendars to find the one that is enabled. You used to have a tab at the top that showed the user name and you could easily dismiss their calendar from that little tab.
320 votesThank you for your feedback! If you’d like to view multiple calendars side-by-side, please go to the view switcher dialog (the button at the top labeled “Day, Work week, Week, or Month”, depending on which view you are currently in) and select “Split view” (please note that this option is not available in Month view).
With Split view, you can view as many calendars as you’d like side-by-side, and once you’re done viewing a particular calendar, click on the X at the top of the calendar to de-select it from your view. Once you’re completely done with a calendar and you’d like to remove it from your calendar list, you can go to the “…” menu next to the calendar and click Delete or Remove.
