Canvas - How do I subscribe to the Calendar feed using Outlook?
You can subscribe to the Calendar Feed using Outlook 2013 on your desktop. Once you have subscribed to the calendar feed, you can remove the calendar feed at any time in Outlook by opening the Tools menu, clicking Account Settings, and select the Internet Calendars tab.
If you are using an earlier version of Outlook, these steps may differ.
Notes:
- All future events and past events within 30 days are included when exporting a Canvas calendar to Outlook.
- Outlook periodically updates but may take up to 24 hours to sync with the Canvas Calendar. Canvas update may not be immediately visible in Outlook.
- If your institution/organization uses a Microsoft Exchange Server account, you can also subscribe to the calendar feed using the Outlook Web App in Exchange Server. This allows you to access your Outlook calendar online if you are away from your desktop. Please contact your IT administrator at your organization/institution for more information.
