I have read the older “Calendars Consolidation” thread, but I don’t think my question is the same.
We have a family iCloud account, and my wife and I both have calendars to which the other subscribes. My problem is that I also have a collaborator tied deeply to the GSuite and who regularly manages our meetings in gCal, and, of course, where I work has Exchange.
Is there any way to “echo” or “forward” – I don’t know the terms here, the events in gCal and Exchange to my iCloud calendar? My wife doesn’t need, nor want, to subscribe to all three calendars, and I would like her to know when I am otherwise committed.
In all honesty, I’d rather not see three separate calendars myself: I’m just a man, a simple man, and my time is, sadly, only available in singular blocks. I know other people have multiple calendars, and, for a while, I was maintaining separate iCal calendars for work and home, but then when I started using time blocking here and there, I realized, I only got one timeline.
You can certainly ‘subscribe’ to Google calendars. For instance, I have my personal and family calendars in Google, and have them show up at work in Outlook by this mechanism.
I think M365 calendars can also be subscribed to if your employer allows. Mine does not, hence why I have my work Outlook subscribed to my personal calendars and not the other way around.
However, this is really the only satisfactory way I found. Before my employer set that limitation, I did play around with an ‘echoing’ approach and quickly learned that way madness lies. Because if you want to make it seamless, you have to echo both ways. I never succeeded with that.
One thing that I’ve also did was to set up an email rule in Outlook to forward any invites to my Gmail and then accepted them there. This worked until my employer changed it that we can’t forward. Plus it made the invite look strange with everyone at the work-based domain and mine at G-mail. It did make my life easier, though.
