Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

Hi,

Click on the Calendar icon from the left pane, and click on "Add Calendar" there is an option "Upload from File". Please upload the .ics file there.

Hi, I tried this, but when in the "New Outlook", on the Calendar view there is no option to "Upload from File". The options that I see are "New event/Event" (which does not include the upload from file), "Day", "Work week", "Month", "Filter", and "Print". So the import option is missing in the Calendar view in the "New Outlook". I have taken a screen shot and provided the same of what I see. Thanks.

This is what I see when I click on the "Add Calendar" item:

Also if I then pick "Edit my calendars":

Suggestions? Thanks for helping.

Hi,

Please click on the Add Calendar button. PFA the screenshot.

So, bear in mind this is a true workaround so it is circuitous and annoying by nature....

1. Download the .ics file.
2. Create a new email in outlook to yourself.
3. Attach the downloaded .ics file.
4. Send to yourself. (Note about how annoying it is you have to do this optional.)
5. Open your new mail and click on the .ics attachment.
6. Click "+Add To Calendar" in the window that pops up.
7. Actually get notifications about your meetings...

Good luck.

Microsoft....please sort out this issue.

This worked for me. Thank you!

And yes, Microsoft, please fix this.

I was able to do this by downloading the .ics, right clicking it in downloads, and choosing to open it with the old version of Outlook. It saved to a different calendar than the one I use with Outlook (new) but I was able to drag it over to the correct calendar. Not ideal, so hopefully it gets fixed soon because it's ridiculous that such a basic function of calendaring isn't possible.
