Click on the calendar to open it in full view
Step 2: Connect the Calendar to Outlook

When prompted by your browser or system, allow the request to open Microsoft Outlook

Now, the SharePoint calendar will appear in the Other Calendars section in your Outlook calendar pane.
Step 3: View and Use the Synced Calendar
You can now view the SharePoint calendar inside Outlook, alongside your personal or work calendar

Add or edit events depending on your SharePoint permissions
Keep in mind:
Two-way sync may be limited by your SharePoint permissions (you might be read-only)

Tips for Best Results

Keep the SharePoint calendar open in a side-by-side view for easier comparison
Set up notifications or alerts within SharePoint for changes to shared events
Avoid duplicate entries by clearly labeling which calendar is being used for what
Troubleshooting
Don’t see “Connect to Outlook” in SharePoint? Make sure you’re using classic view (not modern interface)
Sync not working? Ensure Outlook is the default calendar app and you’re signed in with the correct Microsoft 365 account
Permission denied? Contact your SharePoint admin to get edit or full access to the calendar
