Sorry, I didn’t describe my issue properly… Nextcloud can indeed subscribe to external calendars, but read only. This requires you to use a different app/interface to modify or update events on the external calendar, and if you need two calendar apps, it’s not a particularly useful solution IMO. There are other calendars without this limitation (in fact I think every other calendar I’ve used recently). It’s possible that I’m wrong, but it does say right in the Nextcloud interface that it’s read only. If there’s a way around this limitation, I’d live to hear it.

Yeah its read only, but I don’t have to edit the calendars I’m subscribed to, so it works for me.
But it would be mildly annoying if I had to edit stuff in those. I’m not sure how that would work in the first place. In my case Microsoft would have to have some sort of API, even if its just CALDav, so Nextcloud could submit the changes you make. Does Microsoft even allow for something like that?

it’s useful if you share a calendar with a friend/family member/business partner that’s in a different ecosystem like Google, apple, CalDav, etc… It has worked seamlessly for me, which is why the limitation surprised me.
