Outlook – How to hide other team member’s calendar entries if I have them too

calendarduplicatemergemicrosoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2010

Since I'm displaying the calendars of other team members, I see appointments where more than one of them (including me or not) participate for every participant. Is there any way to visually merge those entries in the week display, or at least hide all but one of them?

To clarify, I use overlay mode due to the amount of calendars, and currently it looks like this:

outlook calender, overlay mode, identical entries by different persons

As you can see, some entries such as the brown and green one at the bottom left are identical except for being in two different (persons') calendars. I'd like these entries to show up merged into one item (e.g. only a green box with a brown border, or half green, half brown, or even only one color but with other entries from only green still showing up) to decrease clutter.

I wouldn't mind using an add-on if Outlook doesn't natively support this.

You can assign a common color to your Team/Group calendar

  • Select your Team calendar on left pane
  • De-select your calendar
  • Go to Ribbon & find color option
  • Pick a color of your choice and apply to the calendars which obstruct you in overlay view

You cannot merge the entries into one
