How to share a calendar in Google Apps or Gmail Print

You can share your calendar with friends who don't currently use Google Calendar by using your calendar's address in HTML format. Just follow these steps:

1. In the calendar list on the left, click the down-arrow next to a calendar and select Calendar settings. (Alternatively, click Settings at the bottom of the calendar list, then click the name of the appropriate calendar.)
2. In the Calendar Address section, click the HTML icon. You'll see a pop-up window with your calendar's URL.
3. Share this URL with your friends who don't use Google Calendar.

If you don't want to make your calendar publicly available to others, but you still want to share it with friends who don't use Google Calendar, you can share your calendar's Private Address. Keep in mind that this address was designed for private use only, so don't share this address with others unless you want them to see all the events on your calendar.

To share your calendar with specific users, follow the steps below. If you are a Google Apps user, you can also use these steps to share a calendar with your Google Apps account after the recent transition.

1. In the calendar list on the left side of the page, click the down-arrow button next to a calendar, then select Share this calendar. (Alternatively, click the Settings link at the bottom of the calendar list, then select a calendar and click the Share this calendar link.)
2. Enter the email address of the person you want to share your calendar with.
3. From the drop-down menu, select a level of permission, then click Add. (Once you click Add, the person you selected to share the calendar with will receive an email invitation to view your calendar.)

You can currently share your calendar with up to 75 users per day. If you'd like to share your calendars with more users, please wait 24 hours before trying again.

If you're having trouble sharing your calendar, remove the shared person from your calendar settings and share your calendar again to resolve the problem.

To share your calendar with everybody, just follow these steps:

1. In the calendar list on the left, click on the down-arrow button next to the appropriate calendar, then select Share this calendar.
2. Select Make this calendar public.
3. If you don't want others to view the details of your events, select See only free/busy (hide details).
4. Click Save.

Keep in mind that making your calendar public will make all of your events visible to the world, including via Google search.
