We know that not everyone has the time or the inclination to write custom code whenever they want to add a simple integration. With this in mind, we have a host of resources that users can access to tailor their scheduling environment to meet their ever-evolving workflow. One of the most accessible options we offer is our App Store. Using it means adding modular enhancements with just a couple of clicks. When you visit the App Store, you'll see we've organized it according to each app's category. This makes it easy to find what you're looking for. For example, you can visit the calendar section if you want to add integrations for Apple, Google, or Microsoft calendars like Outlook and Exchange.

Microsoft is one of the oldest and most well-known email and digital calendar providers that's still operational. People choose to use Microsoft products because they stand the test of time. As the digital landscape continues to grow and evolve, Microsoft has taken the time to update their services to be usable in a new era. This is essential because it means that people who use Microsoft not just in a personal but also in a professional capacity can continue to benefit from its infrastructure. Cal.com offers four separate calendar apps for Microsoft users. We offer one Outlook Calendar app and three Microsoft Exchange apps, including Microsoft Exchange 2016 and 2013. These options help ensure that a wide range of Microsoft users and subscribers can quickly and effortlessly utilize Cal.com's system in combination with existing services.
