G'Day, I'm on a Macbook Pro running macOS Monterey v12.2.1. MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
When I get a link to a meeting invite and I'm asked to open the invite, it downloads an ics file and opens with my Apple Calendar. I have gone into Apple Calendar and set Outlook as my default calendar, but the ics file continues to open in Apple Calendar. How do I get that to default to Outlook?
Thanks for your help!

Hi there tekey,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you need help with Calendar preferences so you can open meeting invitations in Outlook. We'll be happy to help.
The Calendar user guide indicates you can change the default calendar used for meeting invites. Check out this resource: Change General preferences in Calendar on Mac
Best regards.
Hey, thank you for your reply. I have already done what you suggest and my Apple Calendar default is Microsoft Office, but that doesn't work. It still saves the meeting in Apple and not Outlook. See screen shot above.
Thanks!
Hi tekey,
As long as your Calendar and Mail app are working, and the issue occurs when trying to interact with Outlook, the developer will be the best equipped to help support their product. We hope you're able to find a solution.
Thank you.
Reach out to Outlook? So you are saying that there is nothing else I can do?
Thanks for reaching back out tekey,
It sounds like you have things set up correctly on your Mac. The next step will be to reach out to the developer of Outlook for further assistance.
Take care.
Setting Outlook as my default calendar
