How to Sync Google Calendar in Outlook

You can sync your Google Calendar with Outlook, but it requires some additional steps as there’s no built-in feature in Outlook to automatically sync Google Calendar. You can view your Google Calendar in Outlook following the steps here.

To setup full two-way sync you need to use a third-party tool such as Outlook Google Calendar Sync.

Download and install the app
