everybody welcome back my name is mr. Campbell from mr. Campbell rocks calm today I'm going to
show you how to duplicate a Google Google Calendar event two ways the easy way and the hard way the
traditional way that you do this is you'll create a an event in Google Calendar so we're going to
go to calendar Google com we're gonna click on a time and the reason we would want to do this
is let's say we want to add it to two different calendars or we have our personal calendar and
an administrator calendar or we have a what we use is a public calendar for all of our community to
see and then we have a teacher calendar which is a little bit different so we would want to
have events that are on both of those calendars or maybe we want to add details to the teacher
calendar that the public can't see so let's just talk let's just walk you through this so we're
gonna create this event right varsity soccer game is a two to three so typically how we would copy
this to another calendars we would come over and click on this event we would go up to the three
dots and we would say copy to school right let's just copy to this and it'll show up in a different
color we click Save and then you'll see the event that's in both of those obviously if I unclick it
on mine it'll just show the varsity so we've got it on these two right here that's one way to do
it and that's what most people do there's another way that you can do this and it's super awesome
and super easy and all you have to do is set it up once and then for the rest of the year the rest of
the time that you use that calendar it does this automatically so I'm gonna show you how to do it
and then I will show you how to set this up in about three or four steps so I'm gonna delete
this event and I'll delete this from my personal account err so what I'm going to do is I'm going
to come in to my personal calendar and I'm just gonna type in varsity soccer right and what I'm
gonna do is I'm going to add a guest well what I've done is I've created a contact in my Gmail
or in my contact list that is actually the other three or four calendars that I would copy to and
so what I do is I come here and I just type in erm s public and then click save and send and what
that does is that invites the other calendar which is now contact to this event so when i refresh the
page what you're going to see is you're going to see myself and then this is what's public to the
community once you make that connection once or you build that contact you can invite that contact
or that calendar to multiple events throughout the whole year so let me show you how we do that
and where you get that information to do that so first let's delete this let's delete this
we're gonna come down to calendars all the way down here at the bottom where it says other
calendars we're gonna hit plus we're gonna create a new calendar if you already have a
calendar that's created you can go in and search and get in the details and I'll show you how to do
that so let's just do this YouTube test calendar I'm not gonna add any description anything this
is just for the tutorial so I'm gonna create this calendar then it's gonna pop up right
down here at the bottom I want to configure this calendar so this is where you're gonna get all the
details about the calendar you're gonna make it public or private it's going to give you the iCal
information right here where it says calendar ID you're gonna copy and paste this and this is
actually the contact information or the email for this calendar so I'm gonna copy that I'm
gonna come over to my Google Tonk contact so I'm actually gonna blur this out because I have school
emails and school phone numbers connected here and I am going to create a new contact just one in the
first name I'll just call it YouTube test calendar right and then in the email I am actually gonna
paste that information right there then I will hit save and you'll see right here this is the email
right so I'm gonna go back to my Jordan district calendar and I'll go to my personal calendar let's
we get out of settings and I'm gonna go and create an event let's just do tomorrow and we'll just do
soccer and then I'm gonna add a guest and you'll see that my contact YouTube's test calendar has
appeared in my contacts list I have the other one right there right so I'm gonna click there
I'm going to save that and click send and once i refresh that page what you're going to see is
you're going to see that event in both of those calendars now the great thing is about it is you
only have to set up the contact once but for the rest of the year anytime you want to email
or attach different people or different groups or different calendars to that calendar you can
hide and use specific events for those different groups so where would I find that in a calendar
that I already have created so let's just go down to our performing arts calendar this is something
we already have we're gonna go to three dots and we're gonna go to settings and sharing I am NOT
in charge of this calendar obviously it is our performing arts but I come down here and I would
grab this contact information I would create a new contact in googled contacts and I would just
name it the erm s Performing Arts so then any time is the master scheduler I needed to add specific
groups or have one event go to multiple calendars instead of copying it three or four times I just
type in those contacts and it automatically goes to that calendar and attaches that again my name
is mr. Campbell from mr. Campbell rocks this saved you time energy and frustration I would love for
you to like subscribe and share especially with whoever is in charge of the calendar at
your school I know this might not save a lot of time but thirty Seconds to a minute and a half
or two minutes every time you add an event to a calendar especially if you're connected with
the middle or a high school is hours and hours of time throughout the course of the year again
you're an educator if you're here likely I love you I appreciate you and I'm glad that you're here
