Adding Google Calendar
Add using an email address
Ask to see a calendar
On a computer, open Google Calendar. You can only edit Google
Calendar sharing settings from a computer, not the mobile app.
On the left side, find Other calendars.
In the Add a friend's calendar or Add a coworker's
calendar box, enter the other person's email address.
Click Enter.
Depending on how their calendar is shared, one of the following
will happen:
◦ If the calendar isn't shared with you, you'll see a form to
request access.
◦ If the calendar is already shared with you, their calendar
will be added on the left side under "Other calendars."
◦ If the other person doesn't have a Google Calendar, you'll
see the option to invite them to use Google Calendar.
Approval by the other person
If their calendar isn't shared with you, the other person will get an
email requesting access.
To accept your request, the other person should:
1 Open the email you sent requesting access on a computer.
2 Click the link in the email.
3 In the Settings page that opens, choose a permission setting and
select Add Person.
4 Click Save.
After the other person has accepted your request, their calendar
will appear on the left side under "Other calendars." If you don't
see it, try refreshing the page.
Add using a link
You can only add a calendar using a link if the other person's
calendar is public.
On your computer, open Google Calendar.
On the left side, find "Other calendars" and click the down arrow.
Select Add by URL.
Enter the calendar's address in the field provided. The address
needs to be an ICAL link.
Click Add calendar. The calendar will appear on the left side
under "Other calendars."
Note: It might take up to 12 hours for changes to show in your
Google Calendar.
Share an existing calendar
You can share the main calendar for your account, or another calendar
you created.
Note: You can only edit your sharing settings from a computer, not the
mobile app.
Open Google Calendar on a computer.
On the left, find My Calendars. You may need to click to expand it.
Find the calendar you want to share and click the arrow next to it.
Select Share this Calendar.
Under Share with specific people, add the email address of the
person you want to share with.
For Permission Settings, choose an option in the drop-down menu.
Learn more about these options below.
Click Add person, if they aren't already added.
Click Save.
Once you click Save, the person you shared your calendar with will get
an email invitation to view your calendar. If they click the link in the
email, your calendar will be added to their "Other calendars" list.
