By default, the calendar link will only contain your own leave. If you want the link to contain the leave of others, you will need to switch on the Include all leave that is visible to me toggle:
Once you have decided whether to download the link that will show you your own leave or that of others, click on the Get Link button.

The file will open up your Google, Outlook or Office 365 calendar. Click on Add to Calendar (the exact button might be different depending on the calendar platform you are using).
Your calendar is now synced with the Talexio leave calendar:
Please note that in order to view the leave of others, it is important that your permission to View Other Employee Leave is set to allow you to view the leave of others. If you are supposed to be seeing the leave of other employees but are not able to, kindly get in touch with your HR administrator.
