Copy Google Calendar's URL Log into your Google account and click Calendar on the Google bar. If you are logged into your Gmail account, then you will need two clicks instead of one. As you probably know, about two months ago Google rolled out the new update and all of a sudden the Calendar button disappeared from the G-mail page's task bar. Start by opening Google Calendar and hover over the calendar you want to add to Outlook. Click on the three dots next to the name of the calendar and select the option “ Settings and sharing.” Look for Integrate calendar under settings and sharing. You will have to scroll down the page to find it.

Adding Google Calendar To Outlook 2016 For Mac Office 365

When you use this method for some Internet servers, the calendar is not added successfully. After a progress window opens briefly, you are returned to the calendar module without a new calendar added. Additionally, you don't receive any error message.

Cause

By default, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2019, and Outlook for Office 365 use a new modern authentication stack. Even if the Internet calendar file that you are trying to open does not require authentication, Outlook broadcasts its ability to do modern authentication on the server that contains the calendar. Most server software responds to this broadcast by supporting modern authentication. However, some servers consider the broadcast to be an invalid client request. Therefore, they return a response that causes Outlook to cancel the attempt to add the calendar.

For example, server software that's running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) may consider the authentication broadcast to be invalid and refuse the connection.

Workaround

To work around this issue, use Outlook Web App (OWA). OWA doesn't have this authentication header behavior. Therefore, it will successfully open the Internet calendar that you want to add.

To use OWA to add the calendar, follow these steps:

Sign in to OWA.
Switch to the Calendar module.
Select the Add calendar menu.
Select the From internet option.
Provide the URL and an optional calendar name.
Select Save.

More information

When you add the Internet calendar by using OWA, the server that's running Exchange Server manages the calendar subscription and updates. Calendar updates sync approximately every four hours.

The calendar that's added from OWA does not appear in the Outlook desktop application as an Internet calendar. Instead, it is displayed as a calendar entry in the Other Calendars group. Because no subscription information is handled or controlled by the Outlook desktop application, you don't have to configure any client-side Internet calendar options for the calendar that's added through OWA.

I'm sure by now all of you are aware that the old good Google Calendar Sync is not supported any longer. And you don't need to have the third eye to understand at least one reason why they discontinued it. Microsoft and Google are the biggest competitors fighting for the leadership and market share, and all's fair in love and war… It's not only clear why we, users, should suffer.

Anyway, apart from Google's Calendar Sync, there exist a number of ways and free tools to sync Outlook and Google calendars and hopefully this article will help you choose the best approach.

How to synch Google Calendar with Outlook (read-only)

Using this method you can set up one way syncing from Google Calendar to Outlook. Outlook will periodically check the Google Calendar for updates, and if any new or modified events are found, they will be downloaded and displayed alongside with your Outlook appointments.

Copy Google Calendar's URL

Log into your Google account and click Calendar on the Google bar.
If you are logged into your Gmail account, then you will need two clicks instead of one. As you probably know, about two months ago Google rolled out the new update and all of a sudden the Calendar button disappeared from the G-mail page's task bar. Anyway, click on the Apps launcher icon and select Calendar from the list of apps.
Hover over the needed calendar in the calendar list at the left-hand part of the screen, click the drop-down arrow that appears to the right of the calendar name, and then click Calendar settings.
This will open the Calendar details page.
If your google calendar is public, then click the green ICAL icon next to Calendar Address. If it is private, click the ICAL button next to the calendar's Private Address.
Copy the calendar's URL. Now you can paste this URL into any other application that supports the iCal format (.ics) and access your Google calendar from there.

Synchronizing with Outlook 2010, 2013 and 2016

Method 1:

Open your Outlook and switch to Calendar > Manage Calendars ribbon group.
Click Open Calendar button and choose 'From Internet…' from the drop down list.
Paste your Google calendar's URL and click OK.

Method 2:

On the File tab, select Account Settings twice.
Switch to the Internet Calendars tab and click the New… button.
Press Ctrl + V to past the Google calendar's URL, and then click the Add button.
Click Close to close the Accounting Settings dialog.
In the Subscriptions Option dialog box, type the folder name for the imported calendar and make sure the Update Limit checkbox is selected. If you want to transfer the attachments within your Google Calendar events, select the corresponding option too and then click OK.

That's it! Your Google calendar has been added to Outlook and you can see it under 'Other Calendars'.

Note! Remember that the Google Calendar imported in this way is read-only, the lock icon is displayed in the lower right hand corner of all imported Google Calendar's events, meaning they are locked for editing. Changes made in Outlook are not synced with your Google Calendar. If you want to send the changes back to Google Calendar, you need to export your Outlook Calendar.

Calendar Sync / Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook

Updated on 1-Aug-2014.

Google officially announced 'Google Sync End of Life', including the Google Calendar Sync, last year. And on 1 August 2014, our good old Google Calendar Sync has finally come to an end, alas.

Initially, this section contained a backup download link for Google Calendar Sync and instructions on how to make it work with new versions of Outlook 2010 and 2013. But since all that stuff is of no use any longer, we have removed it.

I'm explaining this so that you won't be confused if you come across mentioning of that magic link in early comments to this post. Even if you find it somewhere else, it would be of no avail because Google Calendar Sync has stopped functioning altogether.

So, what alternative does Google offer to us now? I guess everyone already knows - Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook plug-in. This new sync app supports all versions of Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and Outlook 2016 and automatically syncs e-mail, contacts and calendars between Outlook and Google apps servers. It can also simultaneously copy data fro
