To Subscribe to your Google Calendar in OWA/Exchange Online(if Outlook is not installed on your machine)Īn Internet Calendar (iCal) Subscription keeps your Outlook copy of your Google Calendar up-to-date. You should now see your Google Calendar events there. In the Import and Export Wizard, choose Import an iCalendar (.ics) or vCalendar file, and then choose Next.īrowse to where you stored the extracted file, and choose the one that ends with, and choose OK. In Outlook on your desktop (Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016), go to your Calendar.Ĭhoose File > Open & Export > Import/Export. Step 2: Import your Google Calendar to Outlookĭo this step for each Google Calendar you want to import to Outlook. Now you're ready to import your Google Calendar into Outlook. If you have multiple Google calendars, you'll see an ICS file for each one. The extracted file will look something like the this one: Go to that location and unzip the file: right-click the file and choose Extract All. Select a location to save the extracted file. Log on to your Google Gmail account, and then choose Calendar. This option has less functionality than importing the calendar. But you can subscribe to a Google Calendar(Instructions at bottom). If you don't have Outlook installed on your computer, you can't import Google Calendar into Outlook Web App or Outlook on the web. It’s not a one-click button but there’s a wizard that’ll walk you through the steps. Instead, export your Google Calendar to a file, and then import them into Outlook on your desktop. By the way, if you do want two-way synchronisation from Outlook desktop to a Google or iCloud calendar (or contacts) there’s a very useful utility called “CalDavSync” but it doesn’t work here.If you want to import your Google Calendar into Outlook, you don’t have to re-enter all of your appointments. Also there’s no button to force synchronisation so it’s all very difficult to test. There are lots of situations in which everything seems to work (success messages, no warnings or errors) but only some of the entries are imported, old entries are not replaced and future synchronisation doesn’t happen. If instead you try to synchronize direct from the desktop it downloads once but doesn’t synchronise in future and that tab doesn’t appear. In this case you can right-click on the desktop calendar, view Properties and see a “Synchronization” tab. If you then connect the desktop version of Outlook to the web account (using Exchange) the calendar will automatically show up on the desktop and synchronise properly to the original source.

The events have been “imported” but not “synchronised”. However they never update and if I right-click on the calendar name in the left sidebar and select “Properties” I don’t see the expected “Synchronization” tab. On the desktop version of Outlook, clicking “Add > From internet” in Calendar view opens a “New Internet Calendar Subscription” popup and I can enter the events.ics URL and events do appear in my calendar. I can’t find any way to report bugs so I’m posting here in the community forum – is that what I’m supposed to do? It initially appears to work but events are not importing or synchronising properly.
