How To Sync Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar

Why Sync Outlook with Google Calendar?

When your work runs on Microsoft 365 and your personal life runs on Google, you end up managing two separate schedules. Without a sync, accepting a personal appointment during a work meeting is easy to do by accident. You might also block time on your work calendar manually — a tedious process that falls out of date the moment things change.

Automatic syncing eliminates the manual overhead. Your busy times are reflected on both calendars within seconds, and you control exactly how much detail is shared. Work colleagues see "Busy" on your Outlook calendar; they don't need to know it's a dentist appointment.

What Is Don't Double Book Me?

Don't Double Book Me reserves time between your Outlook and Google calendars, ensuring your schedule is conflict-free without sharing your sensitive event details across providers.

• Cross-Provider Sync. Sync events marked as Busy between Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar in real-time. Your availability updates as soon as you're booked on either platform, ensuring no overlaps.
• Privacy Controls. Choose how events appear on the other calendar — show as Busy with no details, keep the original visibility, or mark as Private. Your personal appointments stay personal.
