Is it possible to subscribe to an iCal feed in Outlook and overlay it in your own Outlook Calendar and show it as busy/out of office for other people when creating appointments?

The scenario is as follows: we have a scheduling program that makes work schedules for our employees. This program can output ical feeds so our employees can subscribe to those feeds on their mobile phones. At our office we work with Outlook and we would like that the iCal feed would also be displayed and updated dynamically on every employees calendar. For the employee this is visible but not for other people trying to create an appointment via Outlook.

Best regards, Rémy

You'd have to have two kinds of feeds:

  • one normal one with all the details for the individuals feed, that perhaps only they know the url for, and
  • another feed that issues VFREEBUSY components https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#page-60 instead of VEVENTS. THE VFREEBUSY component then just has the FREEBUSY info
