Subscribe to your LGL calendar

In this article:

If you use Microsoft Outlook 2013 for Windows, Google Calendar, Apple's iCal, or another calendaring program that supports the iCalendar standard, you can subscribe to your LGL calendar and see your to-dos and other LGL activities in your daily work calendar.

Apple iCal and Microsoft Outlook

Click on the calendar icon and, if you are using Apple iCal on a Mac or Microsoft Outlook on Windows, you will be prompted to add the calendar to your list of subscribed calendars.

NOTE: If you use a version of Microsoft Outlook later than 2013 and you have experienced an error syncing to your LGL calendar, please see the "Advanced option: Workaround for syncing versions later than Outlook 2013 via Google Calendar" section later in this article.

Then log in to your Google Calendar account and click the plus sign next to the Add a friend's calendar text input box: 

This will open a popup box, where you can click the From URL option:

Here, you can add the calendar URL:

Other calendar programs

The iCalendar standard is supported by many calendar programs. Setup in those programs is likely to be similar to the Google Calendar setup described above.

The resulting link should look something like this:

6. This link will now need to be imported into the appropriate app in order for it to display. Instructions for the three most common scenarios are laid out below.

a. To load the calendar into Outlook 2016 for Windows, use the link to add the calendar as you normally would.

b. To load the calendar into Outlook.com, use the link and add the calendar via Outlook.com. More detailed instructions are available in these help articles:

c. To load the calendar into Outlook 2016 for Mac, you’ll need to add it into an Outlook.com account first. Then load your Outlook.com account into Outlook 2016 for Mac. Your Outlook 2016 for Mac calendar will now include the items from your LGL Calendar.
