Displaying a 25Live Publisher Feed in an Outlook Calendar (Office 365)

Description

The steps below describe how to display a 25Live Publisher Feed in a Microsoft Outlook Calendar using the ICS feed included with each Publisher Calendar.

To perform these steps, you need:

• An Outlook account provided by your organization, and 
• An existing, published 25Live Publisher calendar.

To add the events on a 25Live Publisher Feed to your Outlook Calendar (desktop version):

1. Identify a Publisher Calendar to Send to Outlook.
   1. Choose a Publisher calendar to send to Outlook.  If you don't have a Publisher calendar, see the Publisher Overview document concerning how to build a calendar using 25Live Pro and 25Live Publisher.
   2. Open the URL of the calendar in your browser to review the calendar.
      
      Example:
      https://25livepub.collegenet.com/calendars/calendar-test
      
2. Identify the ICS Feed URL.
   1. Add .ics to the end of the 25Live Publisher calendar URL to access the ICS feed.
      
      Example:
      https://25livepub.collegenet.com/calendars/calendar-test.ics
      
      
   2. Make note of this URL for use later.  If you wish for this calendar to be updated and not static, please change "https://" with "webcal://".
      
      Example:
      webcal://25livepub.collegenet.com/calendars/calendar-test.ics
3. Open Outlook Calendar and Add a Calendar.
   1. Open your Outlook application and select the Calendar function.
      
      
      
   2. From the Outlook menu bar, select Subscribe from web.  The Calendar subscription panel will appear.
      
      
   3. Under Link to the calendar, enter the ICS URL from step 2 above.
   4. Enter the Calendar name.
   5. Click the Save button.

After you complete the steps, your calendar name will appear in the calendar list in the left panel as show in the following example and your events will now successfully populate the Outlook calendar.
