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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

I agree!! WILD that we need 4 extra steps a NON-Secure gmail/dummy account outside of our 365 network to accomplish .ics saves!!
Hi Mariya, you have to send the event to someone (not yourself) and then save the event. Once you do that you can right-click on the event and you will see the forward button. You will have to forward to your gmail account and then send back to your outlook account to retrieve the .ics file.
So, this inquiry has been created than one year of created and there is no still a solution rather than switch back to the Old Outlook? unbelievable.
I had this same question and found the solution
It is key that you open the event of which you want to create an .ics file.
Then on the ribbon you will see the Forward button with a little dropdown arrow.
There, you can select Forward as iCalendar.
Then all you need to do is change the subject and write your email or drag and drop the .ics file as an attachment to the email you were already preparing.
Can someone explain why it's no longer possible to open an .ics file directly in Outlook and save it to the calendar? Now, I have to download the .ics file, email it to myself, and only then can I open and save it. Is there a reason for this change?
