How To Open A Google Calendar In Outlook 2016 For Mac
I have a hosted Exchange account for my work email (not Office 365) and some new clients/partners I am working with are all-in for Google. I've setup a Google account with my hosted Exchange email address and they have shared their Google calendars with me, so how do I get those calendars to show up in Outlook? When I'm inside my Google account I see a way to get an iCal or HTML address, but when I click the iCal one the URL has 'public' in it and I just get a failed message when I try to pull that up. I'm trying to avoid having to login to Google to look at their calendars every time before sending invites, but also can't switch from my hosted Exchange account to Google apps (nor would I want to). On a Mac, the Calendar app can work with Exchange and Gmail. Buy microsoft word 2016. Not so much in Outlook.

You know how look Outlook took to support IMAP and even decently? It took them over 10 years! – May 4 '16 at 23:33 •. 1st - A correction to the misunderstanding Microsoft Outlook's handling of IMAP.
MS Outlook has been able to easily handle IMAP and any other standard as well as the non-standard email account types with little effort now for over 10 years. The recent sync issues with Google Calendar and Contacts has been caused by Google during their roadmap to push G-Suite services as a competing option to Microsoft Office.
If you are willing to pay for the G-Suite services, Google makes available their Google-Outlook sync tool. Which is essentially their tool that fixes the breaks they created. But this tool is NOT free, for it REQUIRES a G-Suite subscription. There are other 3rd party tools currently available to have their own way to navigate through the crap Google configuration changes that make it so so clear, Google is doing everything it can to be a monopoly and does little more than lip service to maintaining national and international standards.

Gone are the days of Office for Mac having its own user interface and feature set, and now Mac owners can even take part in the same Office Insider preview program as Windows users. Outlook 2016 has seen as much of an overhaul as any Office application for MacOS and now for Google Calendar and Contacts to the Mac. If you’re a part of the Office Insider Fast Ring community, then the most recent update lets you use more of what Google has to offer in the way of managing your time and relationships.
Up until now, Outlook 2016 for Mac only supported connecting to and managing Gmail accounts. That meant Mac users could get access to their Google email, but nothing else. Now, Microsoft is adding the ability to sync Google Calendar and Contact accounts as well, with the same add, delete, and time and location editing functionality as was previously available only with Outlook. In addition, Outlook 2016 for Mac also now supports some Gmail-specific Outlook.com, Office 365, and Exchange email features as well.
