Steps on How to customize Google Calendar in Microsoft Outlook
When linking your Google calendar to your Outlook account, Microsoft will automatically add your calendar to the “Other calendars” section, unless you select the “My Calendars” option. You can choose to keep your calendar in this location or move it to the “My calendars” section.
In most cases, users keep their personal calendars (such as birthday calendars) in “My Calendars,” while items such as shared calendars are stored in “Other calendars.”
Here are the steps to move your Google calendar from “Other calendars” to “My Calendars”:
- Under “Other calendars” on the left menu, hover your mouse cursor over the calendar you want to move.
- Click on the three dots next to the calendar.
- From the menu box that appears, select “Move to.”
- Click the “My Calendars” option that comes up next. Your Google calendar will be moved to the “My Calendars” section.
To move your calendar back to “Other calendars,” click on the three dots next to the calendar name and complete the same steps as above. Just select “Other calendars” instead of “My Calendars” for the last step.
