How to see your Outlook and Google calendars together

Updated October 19, 2026 · By the OnePane team

Work meetings in Outlook, school pickups and dentist appointments in Google Calendar. Flipping between the two is how double bookings happen. Here are three ways to see both in one place, from free and built-in to a one-glance view on your browser home page.

Quick answer: to see Google events inside Outlook, copy Google's Secret address in iCal format and add it in Outlook with Add calendar → Subscribe from web. To see both without opening either app, put them on one page with OnePane's Calendar widget.

Option 1: Show your Google calendar inside Outlook

Best if you spend your day in Outlook and just need to see family events there.

1. On a computer, open calendar.google.com → ⚙ Settings.
2. Under Settings for my calendars, pick the calendar → Integrate calendar.
3. Copy the Secret address in iCal format.
4. In Outlook on the web (or the new Outlook for Windows), open the calendar → Add calendar → Subscribe from web.
5. Paste the address, give it a name and a colour, and click Import.

The catch: it's one-way and slow. You can't edit Google events from Outlook, and Outlook only checks subscribed calendars every few hours, so a change made this morning may not show until this afternoon.

Option 2: Show your Outlook calendar inside Google Calendar

Best if Google Calendar is your main calendar and work is the extra.

1. In Outlook on the web, open ⚙ Settings → Calendar → Shared calendars.
2. Under Publish a calendar, choose your calendar and Can view all details, then Publish.
3. Copy the ICS link.
4. In Google Calendar, next to Other calendars, click + → From URL, paste the link and click Add calendar.

Same limits: read-only, and Google refreshes calendars added by URL only every several hours. Many companies also switch off calendar publishing for Microsoft 365 accounts. If you don't see Publish a calendar, your IT team has turned it off; try option 3's direct connection instead.

Option 3: See both on one page, without opening either

Best if you want a quick look at the whole day, work and home, every time you open your browser.

1. Create a free OnePane account.
2. Click ＋ Add widget → Calendar, then ⚙.
3. Add a row for each calendar: paste your Outlook ICS link from option 2 and your Google secret address from option 1. Give each a name ("Work", "Family") and a colour.
4. Prefer not to publish your work calendar? Add the Outlook Calendar widget instead and click Connect Microsoft account. It signs in with Microsoft and reads your calendar directly, read-only.
5. Make OnePane your browser home page, so the day is the first thing you see.

Events from every calendar appear in one colour-coded list: today, tomorrow and the days ahead. Click a label at the top to hide one calendar for a moment. Add the Outlook Mail widget and you'll see your unread email beside it.

The free plan includes one calendar link. Pro (US$2.99 a month) adds unlimited calendars, the direct Outlook connection and Google Calendar sign-in. Your first 7 days include Pro, no card needed.

Which option should you use?

• You live in Outlook: option 1, plus option 3 if you want the glance without opening Outlook.
• You live in Google Calendar: option 2, if your company allows publishing.
• You want to stop checking two apps: option 3. It's the only one that shows both, plus your email, weather and to-dos, without opening either app.

None of these let you edit one calendar from the other. To add or move an event, open the calendar it belongs to; in OnePane, clicking an Outlook event opens it in Outlook.
