How to see a Google calendar in Outlook


These instructions would be helpful for anyone who would like to see a Google calendar in Outlook. This might include students or people who have Android phones with calendars on their phone that they would like to see in Outlook. They may also see the Google calendar and their Microsoft Exchange calendar joined in Outlook.  These steps are written for Microsoft 365 version 2008 but would be similar for other versions of Outlook.
 
Open your Google calendar in a browser. Under My calendars on the left side of the screen, hover your mouse over the calendar you want to display in Outlook. Click on the three dots beside it.
