If you’re like most people, your Google calendars are probably a big part of your work life. But if you use Outlook 2013, you may not be able to see all of your events right away. In this article, we’ll show you how to view your Google calendars in Outlook 2013 so that you can get the most out of them. First, open Outlook 2013 and click the File tab. Then click Options. In the Options dialog box, click Calendar. In the Calendar section, under “Show calendar items in,” select either All Events or Selected Events. (If you only have a few events in your Google calendar, you can select Selected Events and then choose which events to show.) Click OK to close the Options dialog box. Now when you open a calendar item in Outlook 2013, it will include both the date and time information from your Google calendar as well as any notes or reminders that you added to that event. You can also add new events directly from Outlook 2013 by clicking the Add an Event button (or by pressing Ctrl+N). ..
If you use Outlook for your email and calendar, but also use Google Calendar (say one for business and one for personal), you can easily add your Google Calendar to Outlook so you can view all your calendars in one place.
Go to Google Calendar in your browser.
Log in to your Google account. You will need some information about the Google Calendar you want to add to Outlook for the initial setup in Outlook.
On the calendar page, click the arrow next to the calendar under My calendars and select Calendar settings from the drop-down menu.
In the Private Address section of the Details page that displays, click the green ICAL button.
The Private Address dialog box displays, showing you the URL for the selected Google Calendar. Select the URL and copy it by pressing Ctrl + C.
Open Outlook and click the File tab.
Click the Account Settings button on the Account Information screen and select Account Settings from the drop-down menu.
On the Account Settings dialog box, click the Internet Calendars tab.
On the Internet Calendars tab, click New.
The New Internet Calendar Subscription dialog box displays. In the edit box on the dialog box, paste the URL you copied from your Google account by pressing Ctrl + V. Click Add.
The Subscription Options dialog box displays with the URL displayed as the Location. Enter a title for the calendar, if desired, in the Folder Name edit box. You can also enter an optional Description. The check box under Update Limit is automatically checked by default. We left that setting as is. Click OK to accept your changes and close the dialog box.
Your Google Calendar is added to the list of Internet Calendars on the Account Settings dialog box. Click Close on the dialog box to close it.
The pane on the left side of the screen now lists your Google Calendar in addition to your Outlook Calendar. If you select your Google Calendar under Other Calendars in addition to the Outlook Calendar under My Calendars, both calendars are displayed side by side.
If you have multiple Google Calendars, you can add any of them to Outlook and view them when you want in Outlook without having to log in to your Google account.
