Introduction
If you are using both Microsoft and Apple devices, it can be frustrating to manage your calendars separately. Luckily, you can easily add your Microsoft calendar to your Apple calendar to streamline your schedule. In this article, we will guide you through the process step by step.
Step 1: Obtain Your Microsoft Calendar Link
The first step is to obtain the link to your Microsoft calendar. To do this, open your Microsoft calendar and click on the gear icon in the top right corner. Then, select "Calendar" from the drop-down menu. Find the calendar you want to add to your Apple calendar and click on the three dots next to it. Select "Settings and sharing" from the menu, and then scroll down until you see "Secret address in iCal format". Click on "Reset" and a link will be generated for you.
Step 2: Add Your Microsoft Calendar to Apple Calendar
Now that you have your Microsoft calendar link, it's time to add it to your Apple calendar. Open your Apple calendar and click on "File" in the top left corner. Then, select "New Calendar Subscription". In the pop-up window, paste the link you obtained in Step 1 into the "Calendar URL" field. Customize the settings to your liking, such as how often you want the calendar to refresh. Then, click "OK" to add the calendar to your Apple calendar.
Step 3: Sync Your Calendars
Once you have added your Microsoft calendar to your Apple calendar, you may notice that the events do not immediately appear. This is because the calendars are not yet synced. To sync them, click on "Calendar" in the top left corner of your Apple calendar and select "Preferences". Go to the "Accounts" tab and check the box next to your Microsoft account. Then, click on "Refresh Calendars" to sync the calendars.
