If you only want to sync your calendars, use this method: Add your Calendars to Remarcal ->

To get started with Remarcal, you need to set up credentials for both Google and Microsoft. These credentials are essential to connect your Google and Outlook accounts without requiring an external server for authorization.

Google credentials will be used to connect your Google accounts.
Microsoft credentials will be used to connect your Outlook accounts.
If you don't plan to connect one of these account types, you can skip setting up the corresponding credentials.

Important Update: Generating Microsoft Credentials

As of late June, the process for getting Microsoft credentials has changed. Here's what you need to know:

You now need an Azure account to create Microsoft credentials.
Personal Microsoft accounts can no longer be used for this purpose.
Creating an Azure account and generating the credentials is free, but you'll need to provide credit card information during setup.
Keep in mind: If you plan to use Microsoft's cloud services or servers in the future, there may be costs involved.

Remember, Azure is Microsoft's cloud computing platform. While it might seem complicated, setting up an account is a straightforward process.
