Anyone who uses two or more calendars can quickly get confused. This can be remedied by merging the various calendars. In principle, there are three different ways to combine the Google calendar with the Outlook calendar: subscribe, import and synchronize.

If you want to sync Google and Outlook in both directions, you need an external app or software. There are numerous free and paid programs on the market for this. However, the user reviews of these programs are mostly negative. The Google Calendar Sync program was very popular until a few years ago , but Google has now discontinued this tool. That's why we're going to show you how to subscribe to or import your Google Calendar into Outlook without additional software.
