In this article, we will guide you through the process of subscribing to an Outlook calendar in Google Calendar for the year 2024.
Step 1: Export your Outlook Calendar
The first step in this process is to export your Outlook calendar. To do this, open Outlook and select the calendar option. From here, navigate to File > Open & Export > Import/Export. Select “Export to a file” and then choose the “Comma Separated Values” option. Select the calendar you wish to export and choose your preferred location for the exported file. Save the file and you’re done with this step.
Step 2: Import your Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar
Now that you have your Outlook calendar exported, it’s time to import it to Google Calendar. Open Google Calendar and select the “Settings” option. From here, navigate to “Import & export” and select “Select file from your computer.” Choose the file you just exported from Outlook and select “Import.” Google Calendar will then import your Outlook calendar, and you should see the events appear in your calendar view.

You can find this URL by navigating to your Outlook calendar and selecting “Share” > “Calendar.” Copy the URL and paste it into the “Add calendar” option in Google Calendar.
