Can I add a Localist Calendar event to my personal calendar?

Subscribing to an Outlook Feed
There are some limitations placed on Outlook’s end that force exports to behave differently than iCal or RSS exports:
- Outlook doesn’t allow subscribing to an ICS file with multiple events, such as filtered results. Events will be added, but they will not be connected so the events won’t update to reflect future changes. If you copy the link to the ICS file and manually subscribe to it in Outlook then the events will be added and updated accordingly.
- Windows Outlook handles importing an ICS file with one event in the ICS adds a single event to a calendar, but multiple events in the ICS as a new calendar. The ICS we generate for a single event always contains all instances of the event so it’s up to the calendar program how it’s imported.
iCal

Subscribing to an iCal Feed
After selecting the ICS icon, your browser should open another tab with a prompt to launch your system’s default calendar application. If you wish to use another application or need to manually subscribe to the feed then use the URL of the page. For example, the All Events page ICS button would produce webcal://your.platform.com/calendar.ics
