View shared google calendars in mobile outlook for android

I have been using Samsung's email program on my Galaxy to access my personal email (gmail) and work email (office 365). My wife had shared her gmail calendar with me (and vice-versa) so we can sync our schedules where I can see her schedule and she mine in the Samsung calendar app. So, using the stock Samsung app, I have been able to view my work email/calendar and personal email/calendar w/o an issue for several years.

Over the weekend, my company instituted a new authentication process which no longer works with the Samsung apps. They *require* the Outlook Android app in order to view my work email and calendar (yes I tried adding them manually, but was unable to do so.)

Inasmuch as I was happy using the Samsung email program, which worked fine, this choice on my company's part now forced me to switch to Outlook for Android to view my work email. Since I really do not want to use two email/calendaring systems, I added my personal gmail account into Outlook, so I can see my personal email and calendar as well in one place...

However, I cannot figure out how to get my wife's calendar to show in Outlook. Is this even possible?

Or, am I now stuck and forced to use two separate email/calendaring systems (as I need the ability to view my wife's calendar, where she places all our household events/items for us to both view.)

Thanks.

First, if you saw a response about support with a phone number, do NOT call that number. It is a SCAM. It will be removed from the forum by moderators but you may have received an email when the scammers posted it.

after spending a few hours last nite googling around, I was able to find out how to do this.

It has to be done from the outlook web client, it cannot be done from the android app.

First, I had to have my wife send me her "secret" ical-formal url from her google calendar configuration.

Then, in the Outlook web client, going into calendars, I was able to "add" an Internet calendar with that url.

Third, I enabled viewing her calendar within the outlook web client.

Then I returned to the andoid app, and enable viewing her calendar.

Finally, I had to physically remove the outlook calendar widget I had on my home screen, and re-add it, so I could re-configure it to show me her calendar as well as mine (even after enabling viewing her calendar within the calendar section of the andoid app, it wouldn't show up until I removed the widget and re-added it.
