Changing the home screen calendar choice

[RGrizzzz]

I just switched to Android, specifically a Pixel 2 XL. On the default home screen, the date shows up. I clicked it, and it let me choose a calendar to associate with it. I accidently clicked the google calendar, instead of Outlook. (It was an option) How to I switch from Google calendar to Outlook? I called Google support, and the person I talked to was clueless.This seems like it should be an easy change.

Try going into settings/apps/calendar. You should see 'open by default', click it and there should be an option to clear it. Now go back to your home screen and click your calendar, you should be able to choose one again.

Thanks! That did it. I chose Outlook. Should I be seeing calendar events where the date is?

Not sure, you may have to use a different widget or calendar app that supports Outlook. There may be something in settings for either the calendar or in the widget for it.

I don't have your same phone and don't use Outlook so we have to wait for someone in the know to come along

edit: put something on the calendar for today and see if it shows. Oh and, welcome!

I think that Google's At A Glance widget included on the new Pixels will only display events from the Google Calendar - though as you've seen you can at least change the shortcut so that it will open the Outlook calendar when tapped.
