Your Easy-to-Follow Guide to Syncing Calendars Across Platforms

Choose Your Primary Calendar Platform

Decide on the platform you'll use as your primary calendar. This could be Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or any other platform of your choice. This will be the calendar where you'll add all your events and appointments first.

Set Up Secondary Calendars

If you have other calendars on different platforms, set them up as secondary calendars. These calendars will be synced with your primary calendar.

Link Your Calendars

Go to the settings of your primary calendar and find the option to add or link other calendars. Input the necessary information to link your secondary calendars.

Set Up Sync Preferences

Choose how you want your calendars to sync. This could be a two-way sync (events added to any calendar appear on all) or one-way sync (events added to the primary calendar appear on secondary calendars, but not vice versa).

Confirm Your Sync

After setting up, add a test event to your primary calendar. Check your secondary calendars to see if the event appears. If it does, your calendars are successfully synced!
