- **Cross-Platform Availability**: Use the Virto Shared Calendar within Microsoft Teams or as a web application, ensuring accessibility across devices and platforms.

## How It Differs from Virto Calendar Overlay:

Unlike the Virto Calendar Overlay, which focuses on integrating multiple calendars (Outlook, Exchange, any other internet calendars) into unified views with overlay functionality, the Virto Shared Calendar emphasizes simplicity. It eliminates overlay features to focus on event tagging and sharing, offering a straightforward solution for users who need basic scheduling tools without additional integrations.

Virto Shared Calendar is perfect for individuals and teams prioritizing ease of use and universal accessibility over complex calendar synchronization.
