Is it possible to have a read only MS Exchange calendar with the iPhone calendar app?

My wife and I both WFH and would like to have each other’s work calendar on our phones so we can know when someone is in a meeting versus not.

We each added each other’s calenders - but even if we hide the calendar, we still get all the new meeting invitations. Is there a way that I can just “see” the meetings but not be invited to new ones? It may not be possible, but thought I’d ask!

You should be able to publish a calendar using via HTML link and then subscribe to it in your account. You shouldn't get any meeting invites setting it up this way and you can also disable alerts for the subscribed calendar (at least in iCal). I'm sure you can do the same if you're using Outlook but I can't remember the exact steps for it.

Create the published calendar in O365 and set the permissions you want. Here's what it looks like in O365 on the web.
