Syncing calendars between multiple accounts and unifying them into a single thread is a way to go for most users. Some things won’t work as well, as a Document Library sync, but syncingSharePointOnline calendar withOutlookshould be a simple task.
However, some users are, allegedly, unable to make it work. Namely,SharePointOnline calendar is not syncing withOutlookfor an unknown reason.
How to fix syncing issues between SharePoint Online and Outlook calendars
Using multiple applications for calendars for reminders and meeting schedules might be a burden sometimes. Navigating between one to another app, configuring and meddling with options is something you could easily avoid, especially in this case.
BothSharePointandOutlookare part of Microsoft ecosystem and, as you already know, you can syncSharePointtoOutlookand do everything from a single app.
This method is so successful that every change you’ve made in one or another application is 2-way sync, meaning that the changes will be unified. Whether you’re making them inSharePointorOutlook— it doesn’t matter. In general, this is quite a simple task nowadays. Back in the days, users had to use an alternative approach to connectOutlookwithSharePoint, but not anymore.
Just openSharePoint> Calendar and, under the Connect & Export section, click Connect toOutlook.
This, of course, relies on the fact that the calendar will successfully sync withOutlook. And it doesn’t for some. The first thing you should know is that this will work only with theOutlookfor the desktop. The web-basedOutlookdoesn’t have this option. If the problems emerge, make sure that you’ve granted all necessary permissions toSharePointto access yourOutlookaccount.
The complete authorization is of the utmost importance. If the problem is persistent, consider deleting the calendar fromOutlook(this won’t delete any events) and sync it again with the aforementioned procedure. In addition, try deleting a browser cache or, alternatively, switching browsers for the time being.
