To share your Google Calendar with someone, follow these steps:
- On a computer, open Google Calendar at calendar.google.com (sharing is not available via the mobile app).
- On the left side, find the "My calendars" section.
- Hover over the calendar you want to share and click the three vertical dots next to it.
- Select "Settings and sharing."
- In the menu on the left, click "Share with specific people or groups."
- Click "Add people and groups" and enter the email address of the person you want to share with.
- Choose the permission level you want to grant:
- See only free/busy (hide details): They see when you are busy but no event details.
- See all event details: They can view event names, times, locations, and descriptions.
- Make changes to events: They can add and edit events.
- Make changes and manage sharing: They have full control, including sharing the calendar with others.
- Click "Send" to share the calendar. The recipient will get an email with a link to add your calendar to theirs.
The shared calendar will appear in their Google Calendar under "Other calendars" and will update in real-time when you make changes
. Alternatively, you can share a link to your calendar by going to "Access permissions for events" in the calendar settings and clicking "Get shareable link," then sending that link to others. However, sharing with specific people is more secure and allows you to control permissions precisely
. If you want to share just a single event, you can add guests to the event by editing it and entering their email addresses in the "Add guests" field, then saving and sending invitations
. For sharing across different platforms or devices, services like SyncGene can help synchronize and share your Google Calendar with users on other calendar systems like iCloud or Office 365
. This method ensures you can share your Google Calendar efficiently and securely with the desired people.
