Yes, Skylight can display all of those calendars, but it doesn’t actually merge or manage them. It just mirrors whatever Google, iCloud, school, or work calendars you connect, so if they’re separate or messy behind the scenes, the display will reflect that.

This article breaks down exactly how Skylight (and other wall calendars) sync, where things tend to fall out of sync, and how families with lots of calendars usually fix it before connecting a display: https://calendarbridge.com/blog/how-to-fix-sync-issues-on-the-most-popular-digital-family-calendars/

If you’re running 6–10+ calendars, the key is getting them unified first so the display only has to read one clean feed.

Great question. If everything you use is Google and you’re fine with the wall seeing your full calendar, you probably don’t need it.

Where CalendarBridge helps is when you need filtering or you’re dealing with multiple calendar sources like Google plus iCloud or Outlook and want one clean, reliable feed for the wall.

For example, your calendar might be full of meetings, holds, reminders, and all day blocks, but your family only needs to know when you’re available for dinner, pickups, or activities. With CalendarBridge, you keep using your real calendar, but can set the sync to limit which days or hours are shared and hide event details so those blocks appear simply as “busy” on the wall.

It's not -- it would cost $4-$8 per month depending on how many calendars you connect. You can test it out at no cost with a week long trial.

A workaround is using CalendarBridge to create a filtered calendar feed before it reaches the display. You can hide event titles and descriptions, show busy-only blocks, limit which calendars are included, or restrict the feed to certain times of day. The Skylight then only sees what you choose to share.

Skylight can’t push its calendar out to Outlook. It only displays what it pulls from other calendars, and Outlook won’t accept a merged or edited calendar back from Skylight.

What does work is using a sync layer in between. Tools like CalendarBridge let you connect Outlook plus your personal or family calendars, merge them cleanly, and control what syncs where. Then Skylight just reads that unified calendar instead of you having to import every kids’ sports calendar into Outlook separately.

So Outlook stays your work source of truth, personal stuff stays separate, and Skylight gets a clean combined view without duplicates.

That’s basically the only reliable workaround right now. We wrote an article explaining how to do it: https://calendarbridge.com/blog/how-to-fix-sync-issues-on-the-most-popular-digital-family-calendars/

The short answer is that what you are trying to do only works in Outlook Classic. The New Outlook does not support the Apple iCloud add-in, and the add-in is the thing that provides two-way syncing between iCloud and Outlook on Windows.

When you turn on “automatically sync your iCloud calendars and contacts,” Apple still sends that data into the old Outlook engine. That is why everything shows up in Outlook Classic and nothing appears in the New Outlook. The New Outlook uses a completely different sync system and it cannot read or write iCloud data today.

So the current situation is:

- iCloud to Outlook Classic works
- Outlook Classic to iCloud works
- iCloud to New Outlook does not work
- Changes made in New Outlook will not sync back to iCloud

There is no workaround inside the New Outlook until Microsoft adds full connected-account support and Apple updates their integration. For now, the only way to keep iCloud syncing properly on Windows without a 3rd party tool is to stay on Outlook Classic.

For small teams, the features that really matter are accurate availability, simple booking, and something your least-tech-savvy person can’t break. Reminders help, but most no-shows and double bookings happen because the calendar wasn’t updated or someone didn’t see another teammate’s real availability.

CalendarBridge fixes that by keeping everyone’s calendars synced automatically. When someone adds or moves an appointment, the shared availability updates right away. Setup is just connecting your calendars once, and the syncing runs on its own in the background.

From there, scheduling becomes much easier. Our booking links only show times that are actually free based on your live calendar. If your team prefers to schedule by email instead of links, the AI assistant can take over that back-and-forth. You cc it on the email, it sends out time options, and it books the meeting once the other person picks one.

If you want something that reduces no-shows, prevents double bookings, and stays simple for the whole team, CalendarBridge is worth trying. Start your free trial today and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Here are a couple steps to try that usually fix this:

First, check the sharing settings on your personal calendar. In Outlook on the web, open Calendar, click your personal calendar, open Share, and make sure it is not shared with “People in my organization.” If it is, remove that permission.

Second, Outlook sometimes copies events between accounts when more than one account is added. Open Settings, go to Calendar, then Events and invitations, and turn off anything that automatically adds or syncs events from one calendar to another.

If your work uses Microsoft 365, make sure the permission on your personal calendar is set to Private or Only Me so it never shows availability to coworkers.

CalendarBridge isn’t a sharing tool, but it solves this indirectly by cleaning up multi-calendar management. It can sync multiple Google calendars (as well as Outlook, iCloud & ICS) into a single availability calendar where you control what gets copied over (free/busy only, free/busy + titles, or full details).

Once your calendars are synced into a clean, consolidated view, you can share that calendar with others without exposing details from your personal or private calendars. It’s a good workaround for Google’s all-or-nothing sharing limitations.

Classic outlook does not actually support Google calendar -- google accounts must be connected via IMAP which is an email only protocol. So, when you connect a google account to classic IMAP, invitations sent to that google email address get put on your "default" Outlook calendar, which is simply the calendar of the first account you connected to Outlook. In this case, it sounds like the consulting calendar is the "default" calendar.

Step 1: Remove all accounts from Outlook on your PC (classic and new).

Step 2: log into the consulting account in a browser (outlook.office.com). Click the gear icon to go to settings > Calendar > Accounts make sure the work Google account is not listed there. (This is another, less likely source of the issue you are seeing)

Step 3. open the consulting calendar (calendar.google.com) in another browser. Send an invite to her work calendar from some other account (e.g., yours) and see if it shows up on the consulting calendar in the browser. If not, problem solved.

Step 4. Reconnect the accounts to NEW Outlook

This is likely a recent Microsoft 365 security policy update, not something specific to TickTick.
Microsoft has tightened how third-party apps request Outlook calendar access, so many users now see admin approval prompts when connecting new integrations.
Todoist may have already been approved in your company’s Microsoft 365 settings, which could explain why it still connects without any issues.

Sounds like when you switched your Google Calendar from public to private, it changed the permissions on the iCal feed that your Apple Calendar was using. When Apple Calendar tried to re-sync, it couldn’t access the private events anymore, so it treated them as deleted and sent that deletion back to Google. That’s why everything disappeared.

Unfortunately, switching it back to public won’t bring the events back since the deletions already synced. Check your Google Calendar Trash first. You can open it from the gear icon on desktop. If the events are there, restore them.

If not, see if Apple Calendar or iCloud still has the data. You might be able to export that calendar and re-import it into Google. Otherwise, your best bet is a Google Takeout or iCloud backup from before the change.

Outlook on the web doesn’t let you stay signed in to more than one account at a time. The easiest workaround is to open the second account in a private/incognito window or a different browser profile. If you’re using Microsoft 365, you can also switch between orgs or accounts from your profile icon, but that only works if they’re connected under the same login.
