Google Calendar Does Not Display in Windows 10 Outlook After Adding Account

Background Info:  I am using Windows 10, Home Version: 21h1;  MS Office, version: 18.2106.12410.0

 

After I went through the process of adding my Google Account (Settings/Email & Accounts), to my Windows 10 configuration, the MS Mail/Calendar apps displayed the Google information properly However, when I opened Outlook, only the Mail info displayed properly, the Calendar info was blank. I tried deleting/recreating the Google account in Windows but still got the same result.

 

I would appreciate any suggestions/guidance on how to correct this problem. Thanks.

    Outlook desktop does not sync the Gmail calendar (or contacts) - it adds the account as IMAP and IMAP is email-only. The mail app uses the Microsoft cloud to sync calendar and contacts - outlook desktop does not yet support it.

    If you have a google business account, you can use the google sync utility to sync calendar and contacts. Otherwise you have two options - add the Gmail calendar as a read-only internet calendar subscription or use a 3rd party utility such as companiolink or gsyncit to sync calendar & contacts.
