# Outlook Calendar App

The Outlook Calendar app shows the events from a Microsoft Outlook calendar on your screens, as a list or as a day, week or month view. It stays in sync with the calendar, so new and changed events show up by themselves.

## Add Outlook Calendar to a Playlist

1.  Open the playlist, then click the layer. See [Playlist Media Management](https://easysignage.com/help/playlists/digital-signage-media/) .
2.  If the layer is empty, the content apps open. If it already has media, click **Add New**.
3.  Click **Calendars**, then **Outlook Calendar**.

4.  Under **Accounts**, click **Add/Refresh account** and sign in to your Microsoft account. Accept the permissions so the app can see your calendars.
5.  Under **Settings**, choose the **Account**, then the calendar in **Choose a calendar**, and the language.
6.  Choose how to show the calendar:
    -   **Type**: **List**, **Today’s list**, **Day**, **Week** or **Month**.
    -   **weekdays**: the days to show, for example **Mon - Fri** or **Sun - Sat**.
    -   **Auto-Scroll Interval**: when the list does not fit on one page, how many seconds each page stays before it scrolls to the next (up to 60, 10 by default).

7.  Optional settings:
    -   **Keep finished events**: tick **Enable** to keep finished events on screen for up to 30 days. When it is off, each event disappears as soon as it ends.
    -   **Font Family**, **Text Color** and **Background Color**: the look of the calendar.
    -   **Event location**: shows each event’s location (room) in list views.
    -   **Caching**: see [Caching](#caching) .
8.  Click **Save**, then **Publish changes of this playlist**.

To change the settings later, click **Edit** next to the calendar in the layer. If the calendar stops updating, click **Add/Refresh account** and sign in again.

## Caching

The calendar remembers the events it showed last time, so a screen that has just started up can show the schedule straight away instead of waiting. That is what makes the calendar appear quickly, and it is why **Disable cache** is switched off to begin with.

Turn it on only if one screen shows more than one calendar and they get mixed up — for example, a calendar briefly showing another calendar’s events. Each calendar will then always wait for its own events, which takes a little longer to appear on the screen.

1.  Click **Edit** next to the calendar in the layer.
2.  Under **Caching**, tick **Disable cache (always wait for fresh calendar data)**.
3.  Click **Save**, then **Publish changes of this playlist**.
