Calendars can be easily integrated from different environments, such as:

  • SIS2: timetable
  • gmail: personal mailbox

As a result, all added calendars are displayed in one place, which allows you to manage your schedule more efficiently.

Info

Changes to the timetable are automatically reflected in the Outlook desktop application, changes are not automatically updated in the web version of Outlook!

Also, the calendar does not update automatically when added from a file.
