Cannot use Microsoft calendar

schweizer

I have a degoogled profile with MS Excel installed. Within Excel I am logged in to my company account. That works fine.

I would like to use the company calendar without installing Outlook. I was told to add a Microsoft account under Settings->Accounts->Add accounts where there indeed appears Microsoft 365. But when I tap on it it says "open Excel or Word or Powerpoint or OneNote to add an account". This is shown while Excel is running. Nothing happens thereafter.

A similar question in this forum has not been answered.

How can I get this fixed?

schweizer shouldn't it be Exchange instead? I'm by no means a Microsoft expert, but I believe that Outlook and Exchange differ in some ways, so maybe try that option?

n3t_admin I am talking about the app called Outlook which can synchronise calendars of Microsoft accounts. There is no exchange app I could download nor would I really want that.

schweizer yes, I understand that. I was talking about account types, since you were trying to add an account via settings. Have you followed the official instructions? I don't see where you need to navigate to (system) settings. Who told you that you need to an account that way? Your internal IT team?

Edit: I am confused now, you are trying to sync your calendars without any Microsoft app, which app is supposed to show the calendars? From the Google site here it lists "Exchange" as one of the account types you can add in the Android Account Manager under Section 4.).
