Windows 10: Visible Calendar on Desktop (that integrates with Google)

EditionWindows 10 Pro Version20H2 OS build19042.1055 ExperienceWindows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0 ProcessorAMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 3.80 GHz Installed RAM32.0 GB System type64-bit operating system, x64-based processor ----------------------------- Hello! I want to have a visible calendar on my desktop - not a shortcut, the actual calendar. An app called Rainlendar sort of does this (see image), but it's very limited and doesn't synch with Google. I'd like something much more customizable. I can't find another app that does this, though. Anyone know of one?

Syncing Google Calendars with Calendar App

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description provide, I understand that you are unable to sync Outlook calendar and Google calendar.

I would suggest you to use Outlook.com as the first step and then try to import the Google calendar ics file.

Please follow below.

Export Google Calendar

• Logon to your Google Account.
• Click the gear button.
• Follow the path Settings> Calendars> Export calendars.
• It downloads as a zip, hence you have to extract the .ics file.

Import Google calendar to Outlook.

• Login to Outlook.com.
• Click on Import in the context menu.
• Select the Google Calendar .ics file to import it.

All your Outlook events and appointments are now either in Google Calendar, whichever one you chose to import to .

Can I add google calendar to outlook without synching/downloading gmail eMails?

Not sure whether you want to achieve this via macros, but without using macros, you can try subscribing to your Google calendar in Outlook. See:

See your Google Calendar in Outlook

Update:

1. Log in to your Google Calendar account.
   
2. In the left column, click My calendars to expand it, click the arrow button next to the calendar that you want to add to Outlook as an Internet Calendar Subscription, and then select Settings and sharing.
   

1. In the opened page, scroll down to the "Integrate calendar" heading. Find the "Public address in iCal format" line.
   
2. Copy the URL which is the .ics URL you need to enter in Outlook.
   
3. Next steps in Outlook should be the same as it mentioned in the article I mentioned above.
