How to export new modern outlook.com calendar in .ics format?

Hi,

Exporting of Calendar from Outlook.com is not yet available. You can only share it with other people in which they are able to add it directly to their calendar view in Outlook. Depending on the permission you give them, they can view your calendar or edit it.

We suggest that you check this link for more information and updated workaround to share your calendar.

Since exporting of the calendar is not yet available, we recommend that you send us a feedback to help our support engineers to take note of the option in the future updates.

Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

The problem with this pseudo import method is that the transferred events become "read only". You cannot edit the events in the destination calendar. I am trying to migrate from the Hotmail calendar to the Google calendar but have not found a good way to transfer the events.

Hi,

I tried the share/export function and was also at first surprised that apparently all appointments were "private" and details not visible, although I chose the "show details" export.

But then I found out that some details were visible and those not visible details were marked "private" in the event itself. I.e. you'd need to uncheck the private-box in all entries and then export/share.

Google treats this private-flag differently, i.e. if I import/embed the google-ics-export with my login I can see all details, even of private entries.

I tried the above at work in Lotus Notes with the same entries in the google- and the outlook.com-calendar (actually outlook.com was an export from google, as I consider switching, due to lack of exchange activesync support from google!).

Hope this helps somebody.

Cheers,

David

Sorry guys I just found the solution from here:

The Share button in fact is an Export button, I think MS should consider to use a better name to describe the feature.

4. A new dialog box will appear. Copy the link.
5. Open a new browser. Paste the link that you previously copied then replace the word webcal at the beginning of the address with http and hit Enter.
