How to create/save .ics file in New Outlook for Windows

Just run into this issue today myself and of course its of pressing urgency.

Why would microsoft remove this feature? this is extremely frustrating.

I'm using New Outlook for Windows, but can't find a way to save the .ics file from my meeting (event).

How can I do that? or it's not support to do so. Kindly advise.

This has become a major impediment in using Outlook. When will Microsoft allow the saving of a single calendar event as an .ics. file, please? Thank you.

This unfortunately does not work, especially when you don't have anyone invited in the calendar, fwd is not an option. And when you forward, it doesn't forward as an attachment with an ics. These instructions do not work. This is a major interruption to our business unfortunately.

Microsoft has to address this issue. Otherwise, people will migrate to other scheduluing platforms. It is not all right to roll out products, expecting customers to pay more, and giving them less. The business disruption is unprecedented.

Hi Poom Ritthirungrat1,

Good day.

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist.

Right click on the event Then Forward Then write the needed email .

This pearson will receive invitation with ICS file attached .

I hope this helps let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions .

Hey everyone, I figured out what they were trying to explain.

In order to get the .ics file, you need to forward the meeting invitation to another person first. Keep in mind I'm talking about a meeting invitation and not an appointment. These are the steps I followed:

1. Create the event and fill out all the information.
2. Invite somebody to the event. This will change the event from "appointment" to "meeting".

DO NOT INVITE YOURSELF (do not use the same email creating the event).

Any email should work.

3. Once the meeting is created, the option to forward the email will be available in the right-click menu (as shown in the image above).

Forward the event to another email that can be accessed outside of Outlook, such as Gmail.

4. Go to the forwarded invitation on your Gmail account. The .ics file should be attached to the email.

I know this might be too troublesome for many, and I hope the Microsoft team will solve this issue soon.

C'mon, it was so easy before
