I do not want to just export my current outlook calendar events. I want an accurate and current version of my outlook calendar to be viewable in my google calendar.

All the tutorials I have tried only allow exporting. Once I make changes in my outlook calendar, they do not sync when viewed my google calendar.

Wanting to know if there is even a way to do this as I have spent a lot of time trying and failing.

I swore this used to work before. Was able to sync my office outlook calendar to google then it stopped working. Must be company policy.

    Speaking about AI... I asked ChatGPT this question, and here is the result:

    Yes, you can sync your Outlook calendar with Google Calendar so that events added to your Outlook calendar automatically appear in Google Calendar. Here’s how you can do it:

    Method 1: Using Google Calendar

    1. **Get the ICS Link from Outlook:**
      • Open Outlook and go to your calendar.
      • Find the calendar you want to sync and click on the "Settings" (gear icon).
      • Choose "View All Outlook Settings."
      • Go to "Calendar" > "Shared Calendars."
      • In the "Publish a calendar" section, select the calendar you want to sync, choose the level of access (usually "Can view all details"), and click "Publish."
      • Copy the ICS link (one with ".ics" at the end).
    2. **Add the ICS Link to Google Calendar:**
      • Open Google Calendar in a web browser.
      • On the left sidebar, find "Other calendars" and click the "+" button.
      • Choose "From URL."
      • Paste the ICS link you copied from Outlook.
      • Click "Add calendar."

    This will sync the Outlook calendar to Google Calendar, but it's important to note that this is a one-way sync. Events added to your Outlook calendar will appear in Google Calendar, but changes in Google Calendar won’t reflect in Outlook.

    Method 2: Using Third-Party Tools

    If you need two-way sync, where events added to either calendar reflect in the other, you can use third-party tools like:

    1. **Microsoft Power Automate:**
      • You can set up flows in Microsoft Power Automate to sync events between Outlook and Google Calendar.
      • It’s a bit more complex but allows for more customization.
    2. **Third-Party Apps:**
      • Apps like "Sync2" or "gSyncit" can be installed to manage and automate the sync between Outlook and Google Calendar.
      • These tools typically offer more robust synchronization options, including two-way sync.

    Method 3: Use Outlook and Google Calendar Apps Together

    Another method, if you don't need full integration, is simply adding both calendars to your phone or desktop apps and viewing them side by side. This method doesn't require syncing but allows you to see both calendars in one place.

    Pretty shocking that they answered the OPPOSITE of what the original question was asking.

    I'm having the same problem with syncing. It seems like such a simple task. I'm baffled that Microsoft doesn't make it easier to sync your outlook calendar to a google calendar.

    This must be some proprietary battle between Microsoft and Google. SMH

    This feature appears not to be available on the iOS (iPhone) versions of the Outlook and gmail apps, but apparently only on Android. Is that correct?
