Syncing Work Gmail and Outlook Calendars

Post date: 2020-10-21 06:32:30

How can I get my (work) Gmail calendar to show on my (work) Outlook calendar (they are the same email address)?

For work, I have a single email address but two inboxes and calendars: one in Outlook, and one in Gmail. Outlook is my main calendar, but for Reasons, I use the Gmail calendar to create certain events. Events created on the Gmail calendar do not show up on Outlook, so I have to duplicate the event in Outlook so it blocks my Outlook calendar.

I'd like to get my Gmail calendar to sync with Outlook, so that I can see appointments from my Gmail calendar in Outlook.

Things I've already tried:
- importing the Gmail calendar to Outlook: this worked, but only brought over items one time and didn't update as new events were added to Gmail
- adding new account to Outlook via desktop app: this didn't work at all because the associated email address is the same, so it simply duplicated my Outlook calendar
- subscribe to Gmail calendar via Outlook web app: didn't seem to work at all

For security reasons, I likely won't be able to use a 3rd party service like Zapier or ITTT to solve this problem.

Anyone else run across this issue? Thanks in advance for your help!
