What Is Google's Calendar? How to Share a Google Calendar

Using Google Calendar, you can keep track of your events and share them with friends and family. Using it, you can keep track of your personal and business commitments in one place. It's easy to operate, yet it has a lot of power.

Google Calendar is available to everyone with a Google account. Launch the Calendar app on your Android phone or visit calendar.google.com to get started.

Website for Managing Your Google Calendar

Google Calendar's user interface is what you'd expect from the search giant. Google's signature pastel blues and yellows are there, but they conceal a wealth of robust functionality.

Select a date to go to a different part of your calendar quickly. The following four days and the plan may be accessed via the tabs in the top right corner. The current view is shown prominently in the main section.

Top of the screen links to other Google services that you've enrolled in. You may arrange an event while checking a spreadsheet in Google Drive or sending a short email from Gmail.

Adding an event to Google Calendar

Select a day in the month or an hour in the day or week views to add an event, such as a birthday. You may rapidly arrange an event by clicking on the date or time in a dialogue box.

You may also click on the "More Details" option and provide additional information. Additionally, you may add events by clicking on the left-hand menu text links.

Importing an entire calendar from Outlook, iCal, or Yahoo! is also an option. If you use both Google Calendar and a calendar application like Outlook or iCal, you'll have to input events over and over again. Third-party calendar sync programs exist. However, this is a bummer.

Multiple Google Calendars

Creating several calendars is an alternative to categorize events. Each calendar might have a distinct set of administration parameters, but they are all available through the same interface.

Making a calendar for your house, office, and local bridge club on the same sheet of paper eliminates the potential for scheduling conflicts.

It is possible to see all of the upcoming events on all of your calendars at once. You can, however, color-code these to avoid any misunderstanding.

Google Calendar Sharing

Google Calendar shines in this area. Google provides you with a lot of flexibility to allow people access to your calendar.

Calendars can be made completely open to the public. Organizations and educational institutions would benefit greatly from this. The dates in a public calendar can be viewed by anybody who adds them to their calendar.

Share your calendars with particular people, such as family members or coworkers. If you're using Gmail, this will be a cinch because the email addresses of your contacts will be auto-completed as you write. Sending invites does not necessitate the use of a Gmail account.

Sharing a Google Calendar

If you're using the Android app, you can only share your Google calendar from your PC (or web browser in desktop mode). It's a blunder that will hopefully be corrected in the future, but it isn't much you can do about it for the time being.

On this page, you may see a section called My calendars, where you can begin using Google Calendar. For each calendar you wish to share, click the three horizontal dots (options) at the top of your screen. From there, pick Settings and sharing.

After then, you'll be presented with a choice between two methods of sharing. The first is to make your calendar viewable to everyone who has a link to it. This probably isn't the ideal solution for most individuals, as the calendar might show up when someone searches for your name.

To make something available to the public, select the box labeled "Make public." You may then copy and paste the shareable link to distribute it to whomever you'd like.

For most users, the second option makes the most sense: you may share your calendar with a specified group of individuals. Under "Share with particular people," click on "Add persons," enter the email addresses of those with whom you wish to share your calendar, and specify their rights (see only, modify..."). Then, click "Done."

Once that's done, use the send button to send emails to the persons you have chosen. The Other calendars section of your Google account will now have a link to your calendar, which you may view directly.
