How do I subscribe to the Calendar feed using Outlook.com as an observer?

You can subscribe to the Calendar Feed using the Outlook.com website. The calendar feed includes events and assignments from all of your Canvas calendars. Once you have subscribed to the calendar feed, you can remove the calendar feed at any time from Outlook.com by clicking the More Options icon and selecting the Remove option.

You can also add and import calendars into the Outlook desktop program.

Notes:

  • Canvas calendar exports to Outlook.com can include future events up to 366 days in the future and past events within 30 days. The calendar feed can include up to 1,000 items.
  • Outlook.com may take up to 24 hours to sync with the Canvas Calendar. Canvas updates may not immediately display in the Outlook.com calendar.
  • If your institution uses a Microsoft Exchange Server account, you can also subscribe to the calendar feed using the Outlook Web App in Exchange Server. This allows you to access your Outlook calendar online if you are away from your desktop. Please contact your IT administrator at your institution for more information.
