How to view more hours in a day on the calendar

My calendar, set to 1/2 hour increments, only shows events in a 10 hour window. I would like to see my entire calendar from 7 am. to 7 pm on the same screen without having to scroll. Is there a way to adjust the font or size of the calendar so I can see more hours of my day in a single view.

Thank you.

Frank

    Hello @Frank Dawahare

    At the moment, Outlook supports calendar time scale intervals up to 60 minutes (1 hour). Unfortunately, there is currently no option to display the calendar using 2-hour intervals or greater. You can find more information in the following Microsoft article:

    To help improve the product, I strongly encourage you to submit your feedback directly through the Microsoft Feedback Portal. The Microsoft development teams actively review customer feedback, and many enhancements have been implemented based on community input. 

    If you decide to submit feedback, please feel free to share the link with me. I would be more than happy to support it, and doing so may also help increase visibility so that other users experiencing the same situation can find and endorse it. The more engagement a request receives, the higher the likelihood that it will be carefully reviewed. 

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and clearly explain your requirements. I hope Microsoft will consider adding greater flexibility to the calendar time scale settings in a future update.

    In new Outlook for Windows, there is currently no full calendar zoom control like the old Ctrl+mouse wheel behavior from classic Outlook. The available adjustment is Time scale, which changes the time intervals shown in the calendar, but it does not zoom the entire calendar view.

    To fit more of the day on one screen:

    1. Open Calendar.
    2. Use the Time scale option on the toolbar.
    3. Choose a larger interval such as 30 minutes or 60 minutes to compress the vertical space used by the day.

    Important details:

    • 30-minute increments already reduce the space compared with smaller intervals.
    • If the goal is to see 7 AM to 7 PM without scrolling, increasing the Time scale can help show more hours at once.
    • New Outlook for Windows does not currently support adjusting the overall calendar display with a zoom slider or Ctrl+scroll.

    If a full-day fit on screen is still not possible after changing Time scale, that limitation is by design in new Outlook for Windows.
