  4. Right-click the web address that appears, and then click Copy shortcut or Copy link address in the shortcut menu.

    Note: Don’t click the link. If you do, the calendar will open in Outlook as a Calendar Snapshot and won’t be updated.

When you start Outlook, it checks Google Calendar for updates and downloads any changes. If you keep Outlook open, it also periodically checks for and downloads updates. (Google Calendar tells Outlook how often to check for updates.)

Note: Changes you make in Outlook aren’t sent to your Google Calendar. To update your Google calendar, open Google Calendar from a browser.
