This feature is available to every user in People by Wagepoint and will help everyone make well-informed decisions about taking time away from work (i.e., when it’s really busy, of course!).

Note: The web version of Outlook (Office 365) doesn’t support the syncing of a calendar subscription to the Outlook desktop application. 

Most modern calendar apps will support the URL subscription. Some older apps won’t. The iCal (.ICS) download is for those older ones. The downside? The .ICS will not automatically sync up to People like the URL subscription does.
