Export to ICS File

What is the ICS File Format?

ICS stands for iCalendar, a standard file format used to exchange calendar data. ICS feeds are widely supported by various calendar programs and applications, including Google Calendar, Apple Calendar (formerly iCal), and Microsoft Outlook. These ICS files are plain text files that store details like the meeting title, time, and attendee information.
