> With MS' calendar all you see is a red block of color around the times they are not available.

Only by default, which I believe your org can change. You have complete control over this for your calendar, as does everyone else.

Bless you! I had been angsting over this at work for years. I can't believe I didn't think to check the settings.

The sharing aspect has already been done. It still doesn't show the details in the mini-view where you insert the person's name as a guest which is the most important time to see such information.

You just see a big chunk of red with no details. You don't even see things like "busy". It's just a solid red color.

The key is that there are 5 permission levels: (1) None, (2) Can view when I'm busy, (3) Can view titles and locations, (4) Can view all details, and (5) Can edit.

Is that too much control? Maybe, but it's helpful when you want to share more details with teammates than you do with others, grant admins edit permissions, etc.

All of us have it set to (4) to view all details.

But nope, it doesn't show any details in the mini view when inviting someone to an event.
