Share Google Calendar availability in Outlook email
Lots of people live in Google Calendar but email colleagues who live in Outlook. Booking links are one bridge; plain text is another that does not depend on the recipient's ecosystem.
Generate on the Google side, paste into Outlook, done. They reply in the same thread.

Practical tips
- 1
You still need Google Calendar
ShareAvailability reads Google Calendar today, not Microsoft 365 calendars natively. Outlook / Microsoft 365 support is coming soon. If your source of truth is Outlook, sync to Google for now or wait for native support.
- 2
Avoid double-escaping line breaks
Paste into Outlook's body as plain text first if rich paste collapses lines, then restyle.
- 3
Let them send the invite
In corporate Outlook cultures, the organizer often owns the invite — offering times and letting them create the event matches that norm.
Frequently asked questions
Does ShareAvailability work with Microsoft Outlook Calendar?
Not yet. It works with Google Calendar today. Outlook / Microsoft 365 support is coming soon. Recipients can use Outlook email freely; only the person generating needs Google.
Can I paste into Outlook desktop and Outlook on the web?
Yes. The output is ordinary text with line breaks.
Is this the same as Outlook's FindTime?
No. FindTime and similar add-ins poll attendees. ShareAvailability publishes your free times as text for someone else to answer.
