Subscribe to someone’s Google Calendar

You can find someone else's calendar if they've shared it with you. You can also request access if they haven't shared their calendar with you yet.

Important:

• Calendar's performance may be affected if you subscribe to more than 400 calendars.
• You can only search for a calendar you’d like to subscribe to when you use Google Calendar on a computer or mobile browser.

Use an email address to subscribe to a calendar

Step 1: Ask to subscribe to a calendar

1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.
2. On the left, next to “Other calendars,” click Add Subscribe to calendar. If the calendar has been shared with you, you’ll get an email.
3. In the “Add calendar” box, enter the person's email address, or select one from the list.
4. Press Enter.
5. Depending on whether their calendar is shared, one of the following happens:
   • If the calendar isn't shared with you, we'll prompt you 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, we'll prompt you to invite them to use Google Calendar.

Find how to subscribe to a calendar you don’t own

Step 2: (Optional) Get approval from the other person

If a calendar you’ve requested isn't shared with you, the calendar’s owner gets an email requesting access.

To accept your request, the other person should:

1. On a computer, open the email you sent requesting access.
2. Click the link in the email.
3. In the Settings page that opens, make sure the person is selected, and choose a permission setting.
4. Click Send.

Tip: After the other person accepts your request, you get an email with a link to “Add this calendar.” Once you add the calendar, it appears on the left under “Other calendars.” If the calendar doesn’t appear, refresh the page.

Use a link to add a public calendar

Important: You can only add a calendar with a link if the other person's calendar is public. Learn more about public calendars.

1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.
2. On the left, next to "Other calendars," click Add other calendars   From URL.
3. Enter the URL of the published calendar.
4. Click Add calendar. The calendar appears on the left, under "Other calendars."

Hide someone else's calendar

1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.
2. On the left, under “Other calendars,” uncheck the calendar you want to hide.

Tip: If you don't want to permanently remove a calendar from your list, you can also unsubscribe from it. To restore access to the calendar, subscribe to the calendar again.
