Outlook on Mac does not have the ability to subscribe to any external calendar. On a Mac, we would use the native Apple Calendar for the subscribe option. For windows, shante shared these instructions to update the settings in Outlook and subscribe to the FEC calendar.

In Outlook:

  1. Go to File
  2. Click on Account Settings
  3. Click on Account settings again
  4. Double click on your email address
  5. Select More Settings
  6. Click the Advanced Tab
  7. Under Microsoft 365 features DESELECT "Turn on shared calendar improvements"
  8. Click on Apply and or ok
  9. Exit out of Outlook and reopen Outlook

After completing the above can you check to see if you can now subscribe to the calendar on fec.gov. Make sure to select Advanced and name the calendar and make sure to uncheck "Update limit".
