One of the great features of Google Calendar is that you can create separate calendars and view them independently from your own calendar. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to import the events straight into your calendar. I kind of like to have some sporting events on my calendar so that I know they are there when making plans. For example, I might choose to do dinner with friends a different night if I notice that the United States is playing Canada in the World Junior Hockey Championships that night. This is why I have created a Google Calendar for this event, yet I want it to appear on my own personal calendar as well so I don’t have to actively check other calendars to make sure I’m “free.”
In order to add this into your Outlook calendar, you simply need to get the ICAL address of the calendar you wish to copy to your personal calendar. It’s easiest if you right-click on it and choose “copy shortcut.” Then, in Outlook, go to File > Import and Export and choose “Import an iCalendar or vCalendar file” and click “Next.” When it brings up the box to locate the file, simply paste the URL you copied into the “file name” box and click “open.”
You will then get a prompt to “Open as new” or “Import”
If you choose “Open as New” it will create a new calendar with just these events on it. If you choose “Import,” it will place all of the events on the new calendar on your personal calendar (which is what I chose to do for this particular event).
Good luck!
