Can the Confluence Team Calendar be Connected to an Outlook Calendar?
Asked by Michael Bond:

If yes, would updates made in Outlook automatically sync to the Confluence Team Calendar?

If it can be done, how? I've searched all through the Confluence documentation and can embed a Team Calendar in Outlook (non-editable), but not the other way around.

Thanks!

body: There is no bi-direction sync available. You can sync Team Calendars one way only.

For instance in your use-case:

* Team Calendars ? Outlook (read-only) ([Team Calendars TO Outlook](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/subscribe-to-team-calendars-from-microsoft-outlook-251005307.html))
* Outlook Web App ? Team Calendars (read-only) ([Web Calendars to Team Calendars](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/subscribe-to-google-calendars-from-confluence-240913761.html))

Please note, ANY Cloud-based calendar should be able to offer a subscription URL. I can't really provide a guide on each and every piece of software you use and neither can Atlassian I would say.

How you did this?

Could you please provide me steps to achieve this?

Thanks,

body: Hi there,

Since is pretty complicated to sync the Team Calendars to Outlook, it's a good option to use Microsoft Exchange or Office 365 to display your calendars in the first place.

Our app Outlook Calendars for Confluence does exactly that. It provides you real-time data, so no sync is needed anymore.

Cheers,

Anke

comments: author: Paula Dasch
body: I vote for it, but: see errors from Aarya and me, above. Do you have an idea for it?

body: Hi [@Davin Studer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781467),

As Team Calendars now supports CalDAV, then how to connect to PR calendar on sharepont?

DO you have any idea about this?

body: Team Calendars cloud version supports CalDAV?

now cloud version number is 5.3.15

Why is the cloud version still using the old version?


author: Paula Dasch
body: The answer is now there should be the possibility to synchronize both ways, according to

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/team-calendars-6-0-release-notes-947182030.html?_ga=2.224131483.1493245215.1526381578-1556640022.1500286603>

body: You need to install a (free) third-party plug-in to get it to work. The plugin requires that the user's authenticate via entering a username/password into the "plugin profile".

In an environment where passwords rotate monthly - this is a nightmare. Asking users to edit calendar profiles every time they change their network password is silly.
