Hello Ana,
There may be couple of things going on. First, there may be a shared calendar that your company uses to show everyone's locations and assignments. That's where you may see your own assignments and locations posted. When you first land on calendar by pressing control+2, you will find your self on your personal calendar. That's where Outlook places the appointments you create or the invitations you accept. Moving over to the folders will allow you to see if there are shared calendars. Pressing enter and tabbing over to the calendar view will let you see the shared calendar and navigate among the company-wide info. Secondly, when you're in the calendar view, you can change how the appointments appear. Some people like to see when they have open slots etc. by keeping the calendar view. I personally prefer to see my appointments in a list. It's easier to navigate. If you go to the view tab, you'll be able to explore the different views you have available and setup how they look. See if that makes a difference. You may still need to find the shared calendar in order to get the information your company is posting. Ask a colleague or your boss if there is a shared calendar.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can answer specific questions.
Regards,
Pratik

Subject: [VICUG-L] Outlook Calendar
Hi All,
At work, we use Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 from about 2017. My question
is about how to read information posted to Calendar.
Our work assignments/locations change weekly though they can change more
often. For example, I may be working Departments 1 and 2 this week,
except on Wednesday, when I'm assigned to Departments 10 and 11.
My sighted colleagues tell me assignments are posted to the Outlook
Calendar. They open outlook, click the Calendar icon, and see where
everyone is working. I tried. I opened Outlook, pressed enter on the
Calendar button, and haplessly arrowed around a month-view grid. I found
a note/reminder about a staff meeting, but though the screen reader said
this note was "2 of 2," I never found the day's schedule or my
assignment, which was presumably "1 of 2." I was also not able to move
around the grid consistently, so I'm not understanding how that works
very well either.
Those of you who use the Outlook Calendar feature, how do you do it? I
was using Narrator, but I can also run NVDA from a thumb drive.
Thanks for any wisdom.
Ciao
