Outlook showing wrong time for events on mobile

Open bobeagan opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Using this example link: https://outlook.live.com/calendar/0/deeplink/compose?path=/calendar/action/compose&rru=addevent&startdt=2020-12-31T19:30:00Z&enddt=2020-12-31T22:30:00Z&subject=Birthday&body=With%20clowns%20and%20stuff&location=North%20Pole

Will show correctly on desktop but using the same link in iOS (but I'm told this also is a problem on Android) will fail to pick up the correct times. I've tried manipulating the time format in many different ways to get it to pick up without luck.

If I try an event that spams multiple days, using an example like this: https://outlook.live.com/calendar/0/deeplink/compose?startdt=2020-08-12T00:00:00&enddt=2020-08-13T12:00:00&subject=Hello%20World&body=Hello%20World

The end time is correct but the start time is still wrong. From what I can gather it appears to be rounding up to the nearest hour for the start time.

Wondering if anyone else can reproduce this and/or has figured out a workaround for this to work on mobile.

I guess it has something in common with force-setting time to have UTC timezone in WebOutlook->generate(). Have the same issue -- outlook calendar generates wrong time.

Google->generate() doesn't force the datetime to UTC timezone and produces correct time.

We are also experiencing the same issue. Haven't figured out how to fix this for mobile.

Any suggestions or work arounds are welcome!

Seeing this too. The test event shows 12pm -> 12:30pm on mobile instead of 6:30am -> 9:30am

This appears to be a bug with Outlook mobile. You can reproduce on desktop by resizing the browser window down and reloading.

This seems to be resolved by Microsoft. Works now as expected.
