Outlook 2021 and iPhone 13 Pro Max calendar

Windows 10 Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2130)

Been trying to figure this out for days now with no luck.

This is my situation:

I'm using Outlook 2021 on my desktop PC.
My email address is a "pacbell.net" address, which is hosted at yahoo.com

I have the mail app setup on my iPhone 13 Pro Max to read my email at yahoo.com, but I can't figure out how to share my Outlook 2021 calendar to my phone.

Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!

iPhone 13 Not Connecting To Windows 11 Phone Link

iPhone 13 running iOS 16.4.1 (16.5 as of today)

Dell G7 7588 (2017) Intel Core i7-8750H & BlueTooth LE v4.0

Windows 11 Pro (Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621)

Phone Link version 1.23012.196.0

Reference: Phone link for iOS now available for Windows 11 - Microsoft Community

The first attempt, my Windows 11 PC disconnected from the iPhone after allowing the "Link to Windows" app (that the QR Code sent me to) to access BlueTooth. Bothe sides originally presented the same 6-digit code, and I selected allow from both deveices. Then, they both showed connecting until I stopped it some 20 minutes later.

. Since that attempt, I have not been able to get the Windows 11 PC to acknowledge it is connecting to the iPhone 13 while the iPhone gets stuck waiting to connect.

. I have tried removing the bluetooth connections and reestablishing them, Rebooting both devices, and installing the just-released iOS 16.5 and repeating these options.

Any ideas on what I may have missed? Am I out of luck, at least for the time being?
