Once the update rolls out to all users, Google Calendar and Contacts support will bring the Mac software up to parity with iOS and Android versions of Outlook for Google service users. Following a round of testing and feedback, Microsoft says Google Calendar and Contacts support will come to Office 365 customers using Outlook 2016 for Mac. Office Insider Fast members will be the first to test Google Calendar and Contacts syncing on Outlook 2016 for Mac with a rollout starting today. The experience will be very similar to what you are familiar with in Outlook today, with support for all the core actions-such as add, delete, edit time and location. With these updates, Outlook will now also sync your Google calendars and contacts. Outlook for Mac has long supported connecting to and managing your Gmail.
Outlook for Mac already works with Gmail accounts for managing email, but this update will mark the first time Gmail users can manage contact databases and calendar entries using Microsoft’s software.
Microsoft announced today that it plans to bring Google Calendar and Contacts support to Outlook 2016 for Mac later this year.
