### Office 365 Calendar Support
Office 365 calendars create date formats that are incompatible with MM2.
Here are the instructions to fix it:
1. Import your Office 365 calendar into a Google Calendar. This will take care of all the previous events of your calendar.
2. Go to [Microsoft Flow](https://flow.microsoft.com) and setup a Flow trigger that will create a new event in your Google Calendar whenever an event in Office 365 is created. [Here is a guide to help with this task.](https://shift.newco.co/sync-your-calendars-using-microsoft-flow-and-yes-google-calendar-works-too-a28be5a604dd)
3. Go to Google Calendar and create a private address to use in the calendar module for your Magic Mirror.
This trigger will run every 5 minutes. Make sure to give it time after you create a new event in Office 365 to appear in Google Calendar. Past events will NOT be created using Flow; to do this, follow stop one to import your calendar into Google Calendar.
