Outlook calendar not updating in Google calendar

Another unsatisfied customer, here…

Same issue.

The ICS link syncs when first added to Google calendar.

But does not keep updated.

I have to delete this calendar and add it every time there is an update.

Ridiculous.

Wish I could stop using Outlook, but also required for my work.

Same issue for a while here...

I found this link useful:

https://support.google.com/calendar/thread/11953852/why-won-t-my-outlook-calendar-sync-with-google-calendar?hl=en

Within that link is offered the free OGCS (Outlook Google Calendar Sync), a GitHub solution developed since 2012: https://www.outlookgooglecalendarsync.com/ I have installed it and it is very satisfying.

Therefore, I recommend it as a totally working solution.

Cheers

So glad I found this thread. So, I'm NOT losing my mind. I have the same problem here. I can't keep re-adding the ICS link. That actually defeats the purpose!

I have the same issue. Very frustrating, none of the replies from Microsoft are actually helpful/solutions. Outlook has suddenly stopped syncing to my google calendar, rendering sharing my outlook calendar useless. I wish I could stop using outlook all together, but unfortunately my work uses it. I am so beyond frustrated with this.

Dear Brandon Suchan,

Happy 2023! Thanks for posting to Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you.

Based on information provided, I understand you are facing with Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar synchronize issue. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you so much.

In the light of previous experience, this situation is attributable to three main factors:

1. You may have several exchange accounts or several IMAP/POP accounts in one Outlook profile.
2. You have followed the right steps to add Outlook calendar in Google Calendar, but some details went wrong.
3. In addition, may l know how long this has been happening? Since sometimes this is a transient error.

According to above factors, please kindly check below information from your Outlook and Google calendar:

1. You can check how many accounts you have added in Outlook. If you have several exchange accounts in one Outlook profile, l would suggest you create a new Outlook profile Create an Outlook profile - Microsoft Support and add your Office 365 account to it, then test the calendar sync again.

FYI: Overview of Outlook e-mail profiles - Microsoft Support

1. I believe you have followed official documents to syncing Outlook calendar with Google Calendar. I sincerely recommend you check again just in case:

As you said, if we want to connect Outlook with Google, we will first require a link from Outlook Web App by following steps:

• **Outlook Web App > Settings>View All Outlook Settings>**Select Calendar

**Shared Calendars> Publish Calendar section>**select Calendar> choose Can View All Details

Click Publish>Copy your ICS link

After getting the link, finish syncing in Google Calendar, please follow these steps:

• **Google Calendar >**select Other Calendars + which located at the bottom of your page

Click From URL and paste your copied ICS link> Select Add Calendar

Once you see your new calendar, then the syncing is done.

1. In general, this is a transient error and typically occurs because of an unstable internet connection. These problems usually resolve themselves after a few minutes. But sometimes it may be a long time for Google calendar to finish updating, 4 hours or even 24 hours based on user experience.

If you get any error code or any barriers hinder you, could you please share with me the screenshot of error code or more detailed information?  We will keep tracking this thread and would be glad to offer advice and solutions.

Your patience and cooperation are much appreciated. Wish you a peaceful New Year 2023!
