Since we just migrated from Microsoft Outlook to Google for our email, calendar, and contacts, the default email and calendar program on our computers may still be configured to use Outlook when you click an email or calendar web link on a website. Here’s how to make all those links open Gmail and Google Calendar instead when you click them.
How to make email and calendar web links open Gmail and Google Calendar
Go to Gmail and Google Calendar using the Google Chrome browser. (Be sure to go to both websites.)
1. When you visit either of these websites, you’ll notice a little icon by the Bookmark star icon that looks like two intersecting diamonds with a dark center. Click the icon.
2. Select Allow from the listed options.
3. Select Done to save.
Be sure to perform these steps on both websites.
