Fortunately, there’s a way to add your Outlook calendar to your Google account, so you can see all your schedules in one place. In this article, we’ll show you how to do it step-by-step in 2023.
Step 1: Export Your Outlook Calendar
The first thing you need to do is export your Outlook calendar. To do this, go to your Outlook calendar and click on the “File” tab. Then, select “Open & Export” and click on “Import/Export.” Choose “Export to a file” and select “Comma Separated Values.” Select the calendar you want to export and choose a location to save the file.
Step 2: Import Your Outlook Calendar to Google
Once you’ve exported your Outlook calendar, it’s time to import it to Google. Go to your Google Calendar and click on the three vertical dots next to “Add calendar” on the left-hand side. Choose “Import” and select the CSV file you just exported from Outlook. Select the calendar you want to import the events to and click “Import.”
Step 3: Sync Your Outlook Calendar with Google
After you’ve imported your Outlook calendar to Google, you’ll want to make sure that it stays up to date. To do this, you can set up a sync between your Outlook and Google calendars. Go to the “Settings” gear icon in your Google Calendar and select “Settings.” Click on the “Import & Export” tab and select “Sync” next to “Outlook.” Follow the instructions to connect your Outlook account to Google.
Step 4: Troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble syncing your Outlook calendar with Google, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that you’ve granted permission for Google to access your Outlook account. You can do this by going to your Outlook account and going to “Settings”> “View all Outlook settings”> “Security”> “Permissions.” Make sure that “Google” is listed as a connected app and that it has permission to access your calendar.
If you’re still having issues, try disconnecting and reconnecting your accounts. You can do this by going to the “Settings” gear icon in Google Calendar and selecting “Settings”> “Import & Export”> “Disconnect” next to “Outlook.” Then, follow the steps to reconnect your accounts.
