This tutorial explains step by step how to add your Google Calendar so that it’s accessible from within Microsoft Outlook.
- First up, sign in to your Google Calendar, click the Settings button (the one that looks like a gear) in the upper-right corner of the page and select Settings from the list of options.
- Select the calendar you want to access from within Outlook from the list in the Settings for my calendars section.
- Look for the line titled Secret address in iCal format and then click the Copy button at the end of that line Note: the Copy button is the one that looks like two pieces of paper on top of each other.
- Open up Outlook and select File from the menu bar.
- Click the Account Settings button and select Account Settings… from the drop-down list.
- Select the Internet Calendars tab and click the New… button.
- Paste the ICAL URL (the one you copied in step #3) and click the Add button.
- Enter a Folder Name: in the provided space (something descriptive will probably be helpful but ultimately it doesn’t matter what you name it), then click OK.
- Confirm your newly added calendar is listed in the Internet Calendar panel and then click the Close button.
- Now open your Outlook Calendar.
- Ta-da! Your Google Calendar will now be listed in the Other Calendars section. That’s it – you’re all done!
