Sync with Hotmail Online Calendar
Hi
I am trying to subscribe to my local calendar, from my Hotmail account. The Hotmail subscription feature ask for the ical url. I cannot seem to locate it. When I copy and past the calendar url into the Hotmail, I get an error message which says it's not valid. I see where users can subscribe on the ical feature at the bottom of my calendar but that puts the calendar on my desktop and not on my Hotmail internet calendar.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Sync with Hotmail Online Calendar
I found this link online which you might find helpful:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/calendar-import-vs-subscribe

You can find the public iCal address of your localendar calendar by signing into your account and clicking Export. Then select the iCal tab.

You can either export your calendar to an iCal file, or copy the url address from the Subscribe link.
Hint: http://www.localendar.com/public/trinitye.ics works too smile

Re: Sync with Hotmail Online Calendar
When you sign into your localendar account, the Export button is on the left menu.

The link I provided is a valid iCalendar feed; just try it here:

Beyond providing a valid feed for your calendar, I'm afraid we can't offer support for Hotmail-specific issues since that's not our product smile
