Does Telus fully support GWSMO ?
I am looking for a way to fully synchronize the calendar in Outlook 365 Classic on Windows, with Telus/Google's online Calendar. I don't mean just import the Gmail Calendar into Outlook, nor have a read-only subscription to it, but I want to keep the two calendars fully synchronized at all times.
Email works fine in Outlook 365 Classic using IMAP. But everything I read online says Calendars are hard to sync between Outlook Classic Calendar and Gmail Calendar.
AI is telling me that "Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook" might do it, but ISPs that say they are "Google Workspaces" might not fully support it like other companies do. TELUS AI is telling me "Alternatively, you can use Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook, which allows you to sync your Google Workspace calendar (associated with your TELUS email) with Outlook." but is that true? It is based on this webpage but that seems to say it is only for Email and not necessarily for Calendar. This Telus user in 2025 says there wasn't permission on Telus to make their calendar fully sync with GWSMO.
Has anyone confirmed that it works, or can say it definitely doesn't work? I'm trying to avoid a third party app like gSyncit or OutlookGoogleCalendarSync and don't want to mess with my setup unless I know it definitely will work.

As I said, I do not want to subscribe to the Gmail calendar since events I make in Outlook would not appear in the Gmail calendar. It is one way, updates can be delayed, and is read-only. I want 2 way syncing so they are always in sync.

I add/modify/delete entries to the calendar via my phone calendar app and the changes show up both in Outlook and on my phone. Not ideal but it's workable solution for me.
AFAIK Telus doesn't support GWSMO for regular user accounts but you MAY be able to upgrade your account to get the additional features:

I use Outlook (desktop version) and have my Telus calendars included. I have used the 'subscribe to Calendar' method mentioned here:

This has been working well for me. Hopefully it does what you want.
