Hey friends!
I’m Tasia and in this video will show you how to share Google Calendar with both Google
users and those who don’t have a Google account.
So first things first, this video is all about sharing Google Calendar with others, which
is different from sharing a single event in Gcal.
If you want to know how to share a single event in GCal and other cool Gcal features,
I'll link to some videos below and again at the end of this video.
So, let’s first start with sharing a calendar with another Google user.
From your Google Calendar, on the left hand side, you’ll have a list of all your calendars.
Just hover over the calendar you want to share and select the menu option to the right - those
three vertical dots.
Then, in this popup, select settings and sharing.
In this calendar settings page, you should have your selected calendar on the left with
expanded options underneath it.
If it’s not just toggle this arrow to the right of your calendar.
Now, on that left hand side, select share with specific people.
On the right, on the main portion of your screen, you’ll notice the ‘share with
specific people’ section has appeared.
Now, just click ‘add people’.
In this popup, enter the name or email address of the person you’d like to share your calendar
with.
You can add multiple people here at once, you don’t have to go one at a time.
Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to set permissions for that person too, in
this same popup.
So, click the dropdown arrow to the right of permissions.
Here you’ll see all your options.
If you only want someone to see if you’re busy or free, but not the details of your
calendar events, you can choose that.
You can share all event details just as you would see them, you can allow the person to
make changes to the events, or you can allow them to make changes and manage sharing.
Once you’ve made your selection, just click send and an invite will be sent to that person.
Now, if you’re trying to share your Google Calendar with someone that doesn’t have
a Google account, you’ll get a little ‘invite’ popup here that asks if you’d like to invite
that person to create a Google Account.
You can just click invite.
But what if the person you’re sharing with doesn’t have a Google Account and doesn’t
want to create a Google account?
Well, there’s actually two other ways to share the calendar with people that aren't
Google users...but there’s a bit of a catch.
So, the first way is to make your Google calendar public.
Oy!
This means it will literally be public via a Google search.
Now, you can adjust some of the sharing permissions like I showed you before, so they may not
see all the details of your calendar, but I'm going to walk you through how to do that
and then also the second option which is probably a bit safer, and that's how to share a calendar
link.
So, only people with that link can view your calendar.
So here's how to do both of those things.
Head back to your calendar sharing settings, just like we were before.
This time, select ‘access permissions’ in the left hand side underneath the calendar
you want to share.
Here, you can toggle on the option to make your calendar public, and then to the right
of that you can select your preferred permissions.
But, you’ll notice underneath that option, is the option to get a shareable link.
If you click this, you can copy this link and only people with that link can see your
calendar.
Well it’s really that easy.
