You schedule a meeting in Outlook, then another one in Google Calendar — and suddenly you’re double-booked.

The good news? You can sync your Google Calendar with your Outlook Calendar easily.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to add your Outlook Calendar into Google Calendar in minutes.

Can You Sync Your Google Calendar with Outlook Calendar?

You’ve probably wondered if you can make your Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar work together. Good news — you can.

But there’s a catch. Google and Microsoft don’t offer full, automatic two-way sync out of the box. You’ll need to set it up manually or use a simple tool to connect them.

There are two main options depending on what you need:

  • One-way sync: You can import your Outlook calendar into Google Calendar (or vice versa) using a public URL called an ICS link. This lets you view events from one calendar inside the other. But changes made in one won’t update the other automatically.
  • Two-way sync: You can use third-party apps like OneCal, SyncGene, or Zapier to keep both calendars updated in real time. This way, you add or edit an event in one calendar, and it shows up instantly in the other.

Each method has pros and cons.

If you just want to see all your meetings in one place, a one-way sync is fast, easy, and free. It works well if you mainly live in one calendar but want visibility into the other.

If you need true two-way communication — for example, adding a meeting in Google Calendar and having it automatically show up in Outlook — you’ll need a paid solution. These services keep everything perfectly in sync but may cost a few dollars a month.

How to Sync Your Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar

If you want your Outlook events to show up in Google Calendar, you’re just a few clicks away.

Here’s how you do it:

  1. Open Outlook on the Web.
    Go to your Outlook account in a browser. Click the gear icon for Settings, then select View all Outlook settings.
  2. Go to Calendar Settings.
    In the menu, click Calendar, then Shared Calendars.
  3. Publish Your Calendar.
    Under Publish a Calendar, choose which calendar you want to share. Set the permissions to Can view all details.
  4. Copy the ICS Link.
    After publishing, Outlook gives you two links: an HTML link and an ICS link. You want the ICS link. Copy it.
  5. Open Google Calendar.
    In another tab, open your Google Calendar.
  6. Add the Outlook Calendar.
    On the left side, find Other Calendars. Click the + next to it and select From URL.
  7. Paste the ICS Link.
    Paste your ICS link into the field and click Add Calendar.

That’s it! Your Outlook events will now appear in your Google Calendar under Other Calendars.

But remember: this is a one-way sync.
New events you add to Outlook will show up in Google Calendar.
If you make changes in Google Calendar, they won't sync back to Outlook.

If you want a full two-way sync — where both calendars update each other — you’ll need a third-party tool like OneCal or Zapier. These apps can sync everything automatically but usually come with a subscription fee.

Troubleshooting

Here’s how you can fix the most common problems without wasting hours.

1. Your Outlook events aren’t showing up in Google Calendar.

  • First, double-check that you copied the ICS link, not the HTML link.
  • If you pasted the wrong one, remove the calendar from Google and add it again using the correct ICS link.
  • Make sure your calendar is set to Can view all details in Outlook settings. If it's set to anything less, Google Calendar might not pull the event data.

2. Your calendar isn’t updating with new Outlook events.

  • Google Calendar doesn’t update imported calendars instantly.
  • Sometimes it takes a few hours for new events to show up.
  • If you’re in a rush, go to your Google Calendar, click the three dots next to the Outlook calendar, and select Refresh.
  • This forces Google Calendar to check for new updates.

3. You’re getting a "Couldn’t fetch URL" error in Google Calendar.

  • This usually means the ICS link isn’t publicly accessible.
  • Go back to Outlook and make sure your calendar is published correctly.
  • If you see an option like "Public sharing," make sure it’s turned on.

4. You want a true two-way sync but only set up one-way sync.

  • Google Calendar’s "From URL" method only lets you view events from Outlook.
  • If you need events to sync both ways (create an event in Google, see it in Outlook, and vice versa), you’ll need a third-party tool.
