    The charity I support used to have a Hotmail account which has now been changed to outlook.com.
    I have been trying to embed the associated calendar into the charity’s website, but have not found a way to do it. To compound the problem, the calendar consists of four sub-calendars which are used for different things, e.g. regular events, special events, admin etc.
    I can get a link to an individual calendar which can be called from the website, but not for the aggregated calendar.
    I can embed a Google calendar into the website and it supports importing from other calendars.
    However Google calendar does not understand the webcals:// import link from the outlook calendar. If I change webcals:// to http:// I can import the calendars individually, but this is just a snapshot and is not synchronised.
    If it helps, the url of the outlook.com calendar is:
    https://bay01.calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Geoff

    Thanks for the comment. However, when you change the webcals:// to http:// the calandar is imported into Google Calendar, but it is a snapshot only. The calendar never updates/ synchronises.
    I am beginning to believe that the task is not achievable, which is a great pity.
    Apparently it did work before Microsoft changed Hotmail into outlook.com.
    Progress???
