How to share a Google Calendar

Sharing your Google Calendar is a great way to keep others informed about your schedule. It’s simple to do and can help with coordinating meetings or events. Start by opening Google Calendar on your computer. Once you’re in your calendar, locate the calendar you want to share on the left sidebar. Hover over the calendar name and click on the three dots next to it. From the menu, select Settings and sharing.

In the settings, scroll down to the Share with specific people section. Here, you can add the email addresses of the people you want to share your calendar with. After entering their emails, you can choose the level of access they’ll have. You can give them view only access, edit permissions, or allow them to manage the sharing settings.

If you want to share your calendar with a group, you can choose to share it with a Google group as well. This is especially helpful for teams or organizations. Simply enter the group’s email address in the sharing settings.

On the mobile app, the process is similar but slightly different. Open the Google Calendar app, tap on the hamburger menu in the top-left corner, and select Settings. Find the calendar you wish to share, then tap Sharing. You’ll be able to add email addresses and adjust access permissions from here as well.

Once you've shared your calendar, those with access will receive an email invitation to view or edit it. They can then add the calendar to their own Google Calendar.

Sharing a Google Calendar keeps everyone on the same page, making scheduling easier and more efficient.
