First, let's see how to share your Google Calendar with users who have a Google account.
Step 1. Go to calendar.google.com. You will arrive at the home screen of your Google Calendar.
Step 2. Locate the My Calendars section on the left side of the screen. Find the specific calendar you want to share with someone else, then hold your cursor on that calendar. You'll see an ellipsis appear to the right of this calendar as your cursor hovers over it. Click the ellipsis. A menu window appears.
Step 3. Click "Settings & Sharing" in the menu window to the right of the Google Calendar you want to share. The Calendar Settings window appears.
Step 4. Find the My Calendars Settings section on the left side of the screen, and then locate the calendar you want to share in this section. Click the drop-down arrow to expand the options for this calendar if they are not initially visible. Click /"Share with specific people/" in the list of options under the calendar you want to share. The Share with specific people text will become bold and the window on the right side of the screen will slide to the Share with specific people section.
Step 5. Click /“Add people/” in the Share with specific people section. The Share with specific people window appears. Enter the email address associated with the person you want to share your Google Calendar with, then click /"Enter./". That person's name or email account will be added to the list of people you want to share your Google Calendar with, and you can enter additional email addresses if you want to share your Google Calendar with multiple people. If the people you share your Google Calendar with have a Gmail account, you'll need to enter that email address. Alternatively, if the people you're inviting don't currently have a Gmail address but you want to invite them to Gmail, you'll see an option to send them an invitation to create a Google account later.
Step 6. Click the drop-down list under Permissions in this window to view the available permission restrictions that you can apply to the people you share your Google Calendar with. You can give users the ability to see full event details, make changes to events or make changes, and manage sharing. Click the blue /"Submit/" button after setting user permissions. If you shared a calendar with someone's non-Gmail account, you'll see a prompt to create a Google account. If you want to invite this person to create a Google account, click /"Invite./". You can also click "Don't invite" if you don't want to invite them.
The window will close and you will return to the Share with specific people screen, where you will see the users you chose to share your Google Calendar with will now be added. If these users have a Gmail account, they will receive an email invitation informing them that your shared Google Calendar has been added to their account.
However, if the person you shared your Google Calendar with doesn't have a Google account and doesn't want to create one, the only way they can access your Google Calendar is to make it public and share a link with She. . Let's walk through the steps to find and share this link so that someone without a Google account can access the Google Calendar you shared with them.
Step 1. Go to calendar.google.com. You will arrive at the home screen of your Google Calendar.
Step 2. Click the /"Settings/" icon in the upper right corner of the screen to open a drop-down menu. The Settings icon looks like a gear. Click /"Settings/" in the drop-down menu. The Settings screen appears.
Step 3. Click the name of the calendar you want to share publicly in the Settings section of My Calendars on the left side of the screen. The Settings window for that specific calendar appears on the right side of the screen.
Step 4. Find the Access Permissions section on the right side of the screen, then click to check the box to the left of Make Available to Public. A dialog box appears warning you that making your calendar public will make all events visible to the world, including Google Search. Click /"OK/" if you wish to continue.
Step 5. Click the drop-down box to the right of Make Available to Public to view the available permissions settings, which will only include the ability for people to see all event details or see if you are free or busy .
Step 6. Click the blue button /"Get shareable link/" at the bottom right corner of the Access Permissions section. A Shareable Link to Your Calendar dialog box appears, containing a URL. Click /"Copy link/" in the lower right corner of this dialog box to get a link that you can share with anyone who will allow them to view your Google Calendar.
