# Microsoft / Outlook

If you live in Microsoft 365 / Outlook rather than Google, 42min supports that too: you
can **sign in with Microsoft** and connect your **Outlook calendar** for conflict
checking and write-back. The flow mirrors [Google Calendar](/help/integrations/google-calendar) —
just pick the Microsoft option instead.

## What it does

- **Sign-in** — create or access your 42min account using your Microsoft account.
- **Outlook calendar** — connect it from [**Availability → Calendar**](/360/availability?tab=calendar);
  42min reads its busy times for conflict checks and writes new bookings to it, with a
  calendar invite to the invitee.
- You can mix providers — connect both a Google and a Microsoft account if you keep
  separate calendars, and choose per-calendar what each is used for.

## How to do it

1. Open [**Availability → Calendar**](/360/availability?tab=calendar) and click
   **Add Calendar**.
2. Choose **Microsoft / Outlook**, sign in, and grant 42min access.
3. Pick which calendars **check for conflicts** and which one bookings are **written
   to**.

For conferencing, set the relevant event types' meeting type to
[Microsoft Teams](/help/integrations/microsoft-teams) (the Microsoft equivalent of
[Google Meet](/help/integrations/google-meet)).

## Common pitfalls

- **Personal vs work Microsoft accounts.** Make sure you connect the account whose
  calendar actually holds your meetings; a personal account with an empty calendar
  won't catch conflicts.
- **Connected but conflicts not caught.** As with Google — the *account* connection
  isn't enough; the *calendar* with your events must be ticked for conflict checks.
- **Expecting Google Meet on a Microsoft setup.** Use
  [Microsoft Teams](/help/integrations/microsoft-teams) for those event types, not
  Google Meet.
