Enable swipe to change events
Now that these two settings are enabled, you’ll be able to hop between your Outlook and Google calendars with a quick swipe. Simply move your cursor over an event on one calendar and swipe left or right to switch to the other calendar. You can also use the buttons at the bottom of the window to select a different month or year.\nIf you’re using Outlook 2010 or later, try switching to “Mail as Web App” mode. In this mode, Calendar will open as a web app in your browser rather than as an Outlook document. You can still sync your events with Google Calendar using the normal sync procedure.
