Exchange Online calendars#

With Virto Calendar App, you can combine any number of Exchange Online shared and personal calendars into a single calendar. This is the fastest way to create a calendar overlay because no special fine-tuning is required for this data source.

Resource calendars#

If you use a shared mailbox to book resources in SharePoint, you can add it to the Virto Calendar App to track meeting rooms, equipment and other resources in a single place.

SharePoint lists#

It is one of the most popular options for overlaying calendars. Use SharePoint lists(including lists in a calendar view) as data sources for your overlay. You can overlay an unlimited number of lists in a single view.

Microsoft Planner#

Do you have tasks in Microsoft Planner? Add these to your Virto Calendar App, too.

Public folders#

Public folders in SharePoint are designed for shared access. Since every public folder has a mailbox, it can be easily added to a Virto calendar as a data source.

Internet calendars (iCal feeds)#

An iCalendar or .ics feed isa unique calendar format for most calendar solutions. Generate iCal links and overlay events from Google Calendar or any other external calendar that supports iCalendar feeds.
