Shared Outlook calendar shows wrong timezone in Google calendar. Timezone when importing a shared Outlook calendar is wrong. When importing the link to the Google Calendar, the shared calendar settings says that the timezone is GMT+00:00 -- It's grayed out and I cannot change it. How can I correct this issue?

    Yes, same here. I cannot edit the timezone of the imported calendar which I think is the main issue here.

    I tried to change my main timezone to match GMT+00 and then back, but the issue still persists!

    Just allow us to change the timezone of imported calendars!

    The timezone in Google Calendar (when sharing from Outlook) is fixed (GMT+00.00) Coordinated Universal Time. With no option to change. On the web, all my Outlook times are off by 7 hours. On my Google Calendar phone app, the times are correct.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem, and judging by the 53 people who voted up this exact question on the google calendar support forum, there are more of us. Wrong timezone when adding Outlook Calender to Google Calender - Google Calendar Community

    As described by the first person, my outlook calendar, computer and google calendar overall have the same time zone. However, the shared calendar automatically is in "coordinated universal time" for some reason, and this is impossible to change. (this is also why the answer above unfortunately does not help).

    One difference though: For me, the problem only occurs when someone has made a shared outlook appointment in another time zone and then sent it to me in outlook.

    Example 1:

    My boss has sent me an appointment in outlook. This appointment appears in google calender and in outlook in the correct time.

    Same things goes for shared calendars from my work place.

    Example 2:

    My colleague in the UK has made an appointment in UK time and sent to me in outlook. This is displayed in Swedish time in my outlook calendar with a message that it has ben edited to fit my time zone. However, this appointment is displayed in google calendar as being 2 hours later than Swedish time, i.e, neither using the UK time zone nor the Swedish time zone.

    Hope someone has a way to help with this.

    All best,

    Anna

    Dear Lauren,

    If the shared Outlook calendar is displaying the wrong timezone in your Google Calendar, there are a few steps you can take to try and correct the issue:

    1. Open Google Calendar on your computer.
    2. On the left side of the screen, click on the three horizontal lines to open the menu.
    3. Scroll down and click on “Settings”.
    4. In the “Settings” menu, scroll down to “Time zone” and click on it.
    5. Make sure that your time zone is set correctly.
    6. Scroll down to “Your current time zone” and click on it.
    7. Select “Display all time zones”.
    8. Find your time zone and select it.
    9. Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.

    If this doesn’t work, you can try changing the time zone of your Outlook calendar by following these steps:

    1)Open Outlook on your computer.

    2)Click on “File” in the top left corner of the screen.

    1. Click on “Options”.

    4)Click on “Calendar” in the left-hand menu.

    5)Scroll down to “Time zones”.

    1. Make sure that your time zone is set correctly.
    2. If it’s not, select the correct time zone from the drop-down menu.
    3. Click “OK” at the bottom of the page.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, there may be a technical problem or compatibility issue between the two calendar systems. In that case, you might consider reaching out to the support teams for both Google Calendar and Outlook for further assistance.
