Microsoft 365 (Outlook) - See Your Google Calendar

You have the ability to add your Google Calendar to your Outlook account.

By importing a snapshot of your Google calendar into Outlook, you can see it alongside other calendars in the Outlook Calendar View. To keep the imported calendar up-to-date, subscribe to the Google Calendar in Outlook. If you don’t, the only way to update it will be to import another, more current snapshot.
