Colleague Using Outlook Doesn't See My Calendar Invites

I am trying to understand why a colleague of mine who uses Microsoft Outlook doesn't "see" the invite from my Thunderbird Lightning program, and thus can't accept it into his Outlook calendar. (I receive his Outlook calendar invites fine and when I accept the invitation they populate my Lightning calendar.)

Someone said it has to do with different languages/protocols (.ics?), that Mozilla and Apple are compatible but Outlook and Gmail are not?

TIA for your help,

I need to add more information: my colleague recently purchased a MacBook Pro. He installed Outlook for Mac and this is the program that doesn't see the invites I send using the Lightning extension. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?
