While viewing multiple calendars in schedule view, all day appointments where the person has marked themself as "available" are not showing. Is there a way to make it so that these appointments will be shown while in the schedule view?

    Hi @Megill, Matthew@Waterboards 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.  

    Thank you for reaching out about all-day events not appearing in Schedule View when marked as “Available.” I understand how important it is to see these details when managing multiple calendars. 

    Currently, Schedule View is designed to show time that impacts availability (Busy, Tentative, Out of Office). All-day events marked as “Free” are intentionally hidden to reduce clutter. There isn’t a built-in option to change this behavior. 

    There are a few workarounds you can use: 

    1/ Change “Show As” to Busy/Tentative 

    • Open the event  
    • Under the Options group, choose Show As with a dropdown. 
    •  Set Show As to Busy, Tentative, or Out of Office → Save. 
    • This ensures the event appears in Schedule View.  User's image

    2/ Use overlay mode in Day/Week view 

    • Under View tab > Switch to Day, Work Week, or Week view  
    • Select multiple calendars → click Overlay under the View tab. 
    • This displays all-day events (including “Free”) across calendars.  User's image
