Outlook – way to have an Office365 subscribed calendar show as busy for others

calendaricsmicrosoft-outlookoffice365

Are there any tools that allow you to subscribe to an ICS feed in Office 365, but in reality, SYNCHRONIZE that feed to a secondary O365 calendar?

Use case: I've got my main calendar which I maintain. I'm also subscribed to my 'teaching calendar' which changes occasionally, outside my control. When someone wants to schedule a meeting with me from within my organization, I would like them to know that I am not available during my teaching periods. If events get added, removed, or updated in the subscribed calendar, those changes must be reflected in the 'real' calendar.

I would imagine that there might be a cloud service or sync widget out there somewhere that you could provide your O365 credentials and the ICS URL and it would 'do the magic' — but can't seem to find anything like this.

Thanks!

I thought if you changed the default permission of your calendar for everyone to view your busy/free times then when someone tries to invite you to a meeting or appointment it will show in the scheduling assistant that you're free or busy.
