Google Hub and Outlook Calendar

[Leslie]

Why can’t Google Hub/Google home not access Outlook Calendar? Alexa systems can since I think 2017.

Will this be fixed soon or will it never change? Need to know if I just wasted a lot of money and need to change to Alexa. Most business people use Outlook. How can it not be compatible? It’s the main reason I wanted the Google Nest/Home System. So it could update me every morning.

Hi Leslie, if this is a feature option you'd like to see implemented, use the feedback option in the Home app. Click your profile picture and in the menu select feedback. You can also say "Hey G, leave feedback" to one of your devices and follow the prompts.

Really?? This is the kind of enlightening, deep-dive, critical thinking I can get from a "Platinum Product Expert"? I know how to send feedback, I've done it dozens of times for the same issue for years. The thing is - it has no effect, it's just like talking to a brick wall.

What an utterly useless, unhelpful response.

Hi All,

First, thank you GothamNY for responding to this question.

Hi Leslie, thanks for your message. As GothamNY stated, having Outlook on the Google Home/Nest devices is not possible at this time and the only option for now is to send us feedback regarding this feature request. 

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks.

Hi All,

As I have not received any response, I'll go ahead and lock this thread. As always, feel free to start a new thread if you have any questions or concerns and we'll be happy to help.

Because Google is lazy and complacent. To the "experts" responses in this thread - reporting features has no effect. It's tiresome and taxing to keep reporting suggestions that go unheard and unresponded to. I have provided feedback on this exact same thing multiple times in multiple ways to no avail.

Also, continually locking threads to keep things "fresh" is evasive. All that keeps happening is people keep reporting the same thing over and over, but the threads don't age enough to collect enough 'me too's from other users. 

Google just offloads any attempt at support into unpaid volunteer "communities" full of Google apologists who are incapable of providing actual help. 

If Google wants to keep brushing customers off, we're go to brush right over to another provider. I've been building an Amazon shopping list of Alexa products to switch my entire ecosystem out of Google after all the pain points I've experienced across the board.
