Moodle/Outlook 365 Calendar Integration and Sync

Setting up Calendar Sync

• The first step is to enable the Microsoft Block on your Moodle site. 

• To do this, make sure editing is turned on and scroll down on the left-hand menu and click "Add a Block"

• Once you click "Add a Block" scroll down until you see "Microsoft Block" and click on it. 

• The Microsoft Block will appear on the right hand side of your course and will look something like the photo below.

Configuring Sync

• Click on "Outlook Calendar Sync Setting"

• This will bring up settings that allow you customize how you want the syncing to work and what calendars/Moodle sites you want to sync. Make sure "Enable Outlook Calendar Sync" is checked

• Go through and select how you want the sync to behave. For example, if I wanted to have my Sandbox course sync I would check that course and that would bring up some more menu options. 

• Choose what Outlook Calendar you want to Sync to

• Choose Sync Behavior

It may take a while for the sync to occur in the background and refreshing your Outlook Calendar will help force the sync.
