To keep all your scheduled activities in one place, TalentLMS lets you sync your portal calendar to your preferred external calendar app using the iCal feed format.

Most calendar apps (Google Calendar, Outlook.com Calendar, Yahoo! Calendar, etc.) and desktop applications (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) support the iCal feed format (iCalendar or ICS).

To import your TalentLMS calendar into an external app, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as Instructor or Learner, then click Calendar (1) on the left-hand panel.
2. Click Export (2) and choose Private address (3) from the dropdown list.
3. In the Export calendar with a private address dialog box, copy the provided URL and click Cancel.

This is your private calendar feed URL, which you’ll use to import your schedule into external calendar apps.

4. Sign in to your external calendar app and add your TalentLMS calendar using the feed URL.

Here’s how to do it in five widely used applications:

A. Google Calendar
