How to share a calendar in Outlook

If you have Exchange, Microsoft 365, or Outlook.com account, you can permit other people to view all or some details of your events, edit events, and delegate permissions. Though, you cannot distribute schedules to the email group or distribution list. External users who are not part of your organization and those who do not have Outlook also become a problem that the standard sharing method does not address. Instead, you can email a static copy of your agenda for a specific date range as an attachment.
