Scheduling today can be a nightmare with so many different services and calendar hosts that are each used by different companies, but don't link together. With this in mind having a central place where you can see your full schedule can be a huge time saver. The below guide will discuss different methods for linking your Outlook and Google Calendars together.

Free One-Way Sync - Google Calendar to Outlook


Outlook and Google have a built in method for publishing your Google Calendar online so it can be viewed in Outlook. This method involves adding the "Secret" calendar URL from Google to Outlook as a "Shared Internet Calendar". To add the Google Calendar to Outlook:

  2. In the left column, hover over the calendar you want to add to Outlook, select the three dots beside the calendar, and choose "Settings and sharing."
  3. Click "Integrate Calendar" on the left column and find the "Secret Address in iCal Format" link. Copy this link.
  4. Open Outlook, select Calendar, choose Add in the top right, and select "From Internet".
  5. Paste the link from Step 3 into menu that opens, click Ok and choose "Yes" to add the calendar.
  6. (For Outlook.com) at Step 4 - Open Outlook.com via a browser, select Calendar, choose Add Calendar on the left under "My Calendars", and select "Subscribe from the Web".


This will add a new Calendar in Outlook under the My Calendars list on the left. This is a Read Only Calendar that will display your google events in Outlook.

  • Note: This Display calendar will be updated on a Send\Receive in Outlook. Your publish URL is available to anyone online to copy your calendar.
