For example, a company has several site collections for distinct departments. They don’t have access to each other calendars. You need also to create a calendar for HQ, this calendar must include all department calendars. In this case, you allow the HQ site collection calendar to have the access to all other site collection calendars. This can be made with a single click in calendar settings. And the second new option is an ability to add external users to your Office 365 calendars. You have to share a SharePoint site collection with a user by entering his/her email and giving permission to current site. This external user must also have access to a list used in Virto Calendar you want to share.
