Having multiple calendars with different appointments on each one is a sure path to double bookings and an argument with someone you’ve annoyed. Get more organized and more reliable by subscribing to your Outlook Calendar in Google Calendars.
To do this, you’ll need Outlook and a Google Calendar (which is fairly obvious), but you won’t need any plug-ins, add-ins, extensions, or 3rd party tools.

Both Microsoft and Google support the iCal format, which is short for “iCalendar.” It’s an open standard for exchanging calendar and scheduling information between users and computers that has been around since the late 1990s. This means you can subscribe to iCals if you have the right link, which is the method we’ll use here.
Share an Outlook Calendar
Because we’re going to show an Outlook calendar in Google Calendar, we need to get the link from the Outlook calendar first. In previous iterations of Outlook, it was possible to publish your calendar from the Outlook client on your laptop, but since the introduction of Office 365, Microsoft only allows you to share a calendar with people outside of your organization by using the Outlook web app.
Log in to your Office 365 account and navigate to Outlook by clicking on the app launcher (the nine dots in the top left corner) and selecting the Outlook icon.
Click on Settings > View all Outlook settings.
