Sync GroupMe Events To Outlook
To sync GroupMe events to Outlook, connect GroupMe in gmCalSync, copy the group's private iCal link, then add it in Outlook.com with Add calendar → Subscribe from web, or in Outlook desktop with Add Calendar → From Internet. Outlook re-reads the feed on its own schedule, so GroupMe events keep appearing beside work and school commitments.

Bring GroupMe schedules into Outlook with a private web calendar link that Outlook can subscribe to and refresh.
Outlook works well as the main calendar for work, school, and family planning. gmCalSync helps GroupMe events appear there without copying event names, dates, and locations by hand.
Create a private feed for the GroupMe group, add it as an internet calendar in Outlook, and let Outlook pull updates from the subscription.
How the Outlook sync works
When practices, meetings, carpools, and events live in GroupMe, Outlook users need them next to work and school commitments. gmCalSync gives Outlook a calendar feed it understands.
Using more than one calendar? The same link also works in Google Calendar and on iPhone.
