If you’re someone who uses Outlook Calendar to schedule meetings, you may have wondered if there’s a way to hide the details of your meetings from others who may have access to your calendar. The good news is that there is a way to do this, and it’s relatively simple.
Step 1: Open your Outlook Calendar
