Outlook 365 Calendar displaying UTC time in Google Calenda

I have been sharing my Outlook calendar with my husband who uses Google calendar with no problems for nearly a year. Then, I think in June, new events that I create show up in UTC time - off by four hours. New events that I accept from an invitation show up correctly. Old events are also correct (e.g. recurring events).

The screenshot on the left is the Google calendar with INCORRECT times from shared Outlook Calendar. The Screenshot on the right is the original Outlook calendar.

    Hi @K M R ,

    Based on my research, it seems that this issue may be related to how Outlook and Google Calendar handle the time zone and daylight saving time settings of the events you create. It is possible that Outlook is not applying the correct time zone offset to your events, or that Google Calendar is not recognizing the time zone information from Outlook correctly.

    • One thing you can try is to check the time zone settings of both your Outlook calendar and your Google calendar. Make sure they are the same and match your current location. You can find the instructions on how to change the time zone settings in the links: Use Google Calendar in different time zones Add, remove, or change time zones
    • Another thing you can try is to re-generate and re-import the ICS link that you used to share your Outlook calendar with Google calendar. Sometimes, the ICS link may not work properly and cause synchronization.
