How to export outlook.live.com Calendar?

I would like to export my outlook.live.com Calendar to a non-Microsoft app.

Instructions that I have found by searching suggest doing a File -> Export, but when I have selected my outlook.live.com Calendar (tab) I don't have an Export choice in my browser's (Firefox) File menu.

Trying this with I.E. I see a File -> Import and Export.... menu item, but the 'Import and Export' wizard appears to only allow me to export Favorites, Feeds, or Cookies.

Do I mis-understand how to access the Export function?   Or, has the procedure changed?

Thanks for any guidance.

The File>Import & Export advice is for Office Outlook, the mail client you install on your PC. It has nothing to do with Outlook.com's calendar.

Log into your calendar and select Options gear>Options>Publish. Right-click the ICS URI and choose "Save target as". This will give you an ICS file you can import into another program, provided that program can import ICS files.

    Could it be even more annoying?

    I have the same problem (an error and no links) and also tried several browsers.

    Does anyone in Microsoft bothers to solve this problem?

    Not a solution. I have tried ALL browser's without success.

    Brian,

    I have tried exactly as you advise and always get exactly the same error message as Rose, i.e:-

    'The user record already exists in Store - possible reason ... etc@

    I had this issue too when using Chrome.

    I gave Edge a try and was able to successfully use Brian's method to get my HTML and ICS URLs.

    Once I did this, the URLs also appeared correctly in Chrome.
