Share

This tutorial explains step by step how to add your Google Calendar so that it’s accessible from within Microsoft Outlook.

  1. 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.
  2. Select the calendar you want to access from within Outlook from the list in the Settings for my calendars section.
  3. 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.
  4. Open up Outlook and select File from the menu bar.
  5. Click the Account Settings button and select Account Settings… from the drop-down list.
  6. Select the Internet Calendars tab and click the New… button.
  7. Paste the ICAL URL (the one you copied in step #3) and click the Add button.
  8. 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.
  9. Confirm your newly added calendar is listed in the Internet Calendar panel and then click the Close button.
  10. Now open your Outlook Calendar.
  11. Ta-da! Your Google Calendar will now be listed in the Other Calendars section. That’s it – you’re all done!
