Tired of Seeing Your Office 365 Calendar in Google Calendar? Here's How to Remove It!
Are you constantly bombarded with meetings and appointments from your Office 365 calendar in your Google Calendar? It can be incredibly frustrating to see a cluttered calendar filled with events you don't need to see. Luckily, there's a way to remove the Office 365 calendar from your Google Calendar and regain control of your scheduling.
Why is My Office 365 Calendar Showing in Google Calendar?
Before we dive into the removal process, let's understand why this happens in the first place. When you connect your Office 365 account to Google Calendar, it synchronizes your calendars. This allows you to see your Office 365 events within Google Calendar and vice versa. However, sometimes this integration can become a bit overbearing, showing events you'd rather keep separate.
How to Remove the Office 365 Calendar from Google Calendar
There are two main ways to remove your Office 365 calendar from Google Calendar:
1. Disconnecting the Integration:
- Step 1: Open Google Calendar. Go to your Google Calendar webpage and log in with your Google account.
- Step 2: Access Settings. Click the gear icon in the top right corner and select "Settings".
- Step 3: Locate "Manage Accounts". In the left sidebar, find the "Manage Accounts" section.
- Step 4: Find the Office 365 Connection. Look for the entry that represents your Office 365 account. It will likely display the name of your organization.
- Step 5: Disconnect the Account. Click the three dots next to the Office 365 account entry and select "Remove".
This will completely disconnect your Office 365 calendar from Google Calendar, ensuring no further synchronization.
2. Hiding the Calendar:
If you still want to access your Office 365 calendar from time to time but don't want it cluttering your main view, you can simply hide it:
- Step 1: Open Google Calendar. Go to your Google Calendar webpage and log in with your Google account.
- Step 2: Navigate to the "Other Calendars" Section. In the left sidebar, find the "Other Calendars" section.
- Step 3: Locate the Office 365 Calendar. Find the calendar that represents your Office 365 account. It should have the name of your organization.
- Step 4: Uncheck the Box. Next to the Office 365 calendar name, you'll see a checkbox. Uncheck the box to hide the calendar from your main view.
By hiding the calendar, you'll still have access to your Office 365 events if you need them, but they won't constantly clutter your Google Calendar view.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Double-check your Google Calendar settings. Make sure there are no other connections or integrations that might be adding events from your Office 365 calendar.
- Verify the connection status in your Office 365 account. Some Office 365 settings might influence calendar synchronization.
Conclusion
Removing your Office 365 calendar from Google Calendar is a simple process that can significantly improve your scheduling experience. By disconnecting the integration or simply hiding the calendar, you can regain control of your calendar view and focus on what matters most. Remember, your calendar should be your ally, not your adversary!
