    • Those who utilize Outlook within organizations share the application’s calendar with other users. However, you might prefer to hide some of the details on a shared Outlook calendar from other users.

    For example, some appointment details on the calendar might need to be kept confidential. You can hide appointment details with the Private option or by adjusting the permissions of the calendar.

    How can I hide Outlook calendar details?

    1. Select the Private option for appointments

  • You can hide calendar appointment, event, and task details from other users with the Private option. To do that, open Outlook’s calendar view.
  • Select the meeting appointment on the calendar.
  • Click the Private button on the Appointment tab. Then users you share the calendar with (without Read permissions) can’t see the details for the padlocked appointment.Private option outlook how to hide calendar details from others

  • Then select the Share Calendar option. That option will open the Share tab.
  • Click the Limited details option in the Details drop-down menu.
