Thanks for voting!
One alternative is to subscribe to iCloud calendar with your Exchange/O365 email accounts or any Outlook account, and then sync the same accounts in Outlook for Mac. See details:

I have just subscribed to Microsoft 365, and was surprised to see that this integration doesn’t exist. As someone fully integrated in the Mac ecosystem, I use Mac Reminders and Calender - it’s crazy that Outlook for Mac can access iCloud Mail, but not these other key aspects. Until this glaring hole is filled, I will have no choice but to ditch Outlook.

I just purchased Microsoft 365 and was very surprised that Outlook does not automatically have all calendars and contacts from macOS/iOS available like you know it from many other third-party apps. I like the Microsoft Office package but for other reasons, I have to use macOS, so please tear down that wall and fully integrate with macOS/iOS, please!

Thx for prioritizing the iCloud calendar & contacts synch. To be honest, I am a bit surprised that there are only workarounds available and no proper 'official' synch option. What is the value add for Outlook for Mac if you cannot synchronize iCloud directly?

In order to drive adoption of Outlook for Mac, iCloud users need greater support for ensuring that email can be easily viewed - and this includes links, images, etc.
As well, iCal support is also required. Otherwise we have a disjointed approach to email and calendar integration to say the least.

Merci de trouver une solution pour le transfert automatique des données (calendriers et contacts iCloud) dans Outlook pour mac.
C'est une manque important pour nos solutions de travail et cela rend inopérationnel Outlook ... -

Thanks to 3rdparty-tool sync-mate I was able to sync the local iCal on my Mac to Outlook Web and from Outlook Web it is syncing to Outlook for Mac.

not sure why u would sell an office for mac and not be able to auto-sync with the iCloud calendar as most of the entries are done on the iPhone and have to be manually synced this also applies to the contacts I might as well continue using the iCloud stuff which does all this

Unbelievable that it is 2020 and this simple, but critical requirement for Mac users is still being ignored.

No noticable progress in the last couple of years @Admin? Time for an update, at least info-wise.

Is there any chance of this coming? The workaround doesn’t work the calendar I’m trying to connect is not iCloud but it is iCal. Why not enable?

Also, the "workaround" by making your iCloud calendar a shared calendar does not really work because a shared calendar is a ReadOnly version of the calendar. So, yes, sharing your iCloud calendar and then connecting to that in Outlook for Web (which eventually gets to your Outlook on Mac) doesn't really work because you cannot add a new calendar item using Outlook for Mac. You would have to add the calendar item using Mac Calendar (formerly iCal) to do that. This is precisely the problem that we are trying to avoid.

I am in the exact same situation as described by Liz. The only place that I can see my work and personal calendar items is on my iPhone. I should be able to see all of my calendar items (work and personal) in Outlook on Mac.

I need to use Outlook for work. I use my own Mac for work. I therefore use Outlook for Mac. It is beyond ridiculous that a version of Outlook specifically designed for the Mac platform does not support iCloud calendar sync. My work calendar is in Outlook. My personal and family calendars are in iCloud. I’d like to see both in the Outlook for Mac calendar rather than having to switch. This should be as straightforward as it is on iOS.

Im the only one thats working on a MAC in the office, because I do graphic stuff. Its so annoying I cant synch the iCloud Calendar, which we are all working with in my Outlook. I also cant use the workaround, cause the Mail im using is from the host 1&1 which is only supporting IMAP. Aaaaand I cant add two IMAP accounts with the same address in Outlook.
Cant believe such a simple feature hasnt been implemented yet!

I’d also like to add that the workaround noted on this thread simply does not work for me. Have tried multiple times, but adding a public shared calendar link from iCloud into the Outlook web calendar as per the instructions does not sync at all. The calendars appear in the Outlook list but no calendar entries appear.

It already works on iOS so why not just port this to Mac? it's a bummer for sure.

It's rediculous that you offer the "Office Suite" on Mac and don't support integration with half the features - Prejudice or stupidity and lack of foresight?
The previous release of Office was a disgrace, and you follow up with a better GUI but the critical features missing from the implementation.
Heads should roll!!
