Are you using both Outlook and Google Calendar to manage your busy schedule? Subscribing to an Outlook calendar in Google Calendar can help you keep everything in one place. Here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Get the Calendar URL
First, you need to get the URL of the Outlook calendar you want to subscribe to. Open Outlook Calendar and click on the calendar you want to share. Then, click on the “Share” button and select “Calendar publishing.”
Next, choose the details you want to share and click on the “Create” button. You will then see the URL of your calendar in the “Embed This Calendar” section. Copy the URL to your clipboard.
Step 2: Add the Calendar to Google
Next, open Google Calendar and go to “Other calendars” on the left-hand side. Click on the “+” button and select “From URL.”
Paste the URL of your Outlook calendar into the text box and click on “Add Calendar.” You will then see your Outlook calendar in your Google Calendar.
Question: Can I Edit the Outlook Calendar in Google Calendar?
Yes, you can. However, any changes you make in Google Calendar will not be reflected in the original Outlook calendar. To edit the Outlook calendar, you need to do it in Outlook.
Question: Can I Unsubscribe from the Outlook Calendar in Google Calendar?
Yes, you can. To unsubscribe from the Outlook calendar, go to “Other calendars” on the left-hand side of Google Calendar. Hover over the calendar you want to unsubscribe from and click on the three vertical dots. Select “Settings and sharing” and then click on “Unsubscribe.”
