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
- On your computer, open Google Calendar.
- 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.
- In the “Add calendar” box, enter the person's email address, or select one from the list.
- Press Enter.
- 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.
Subscribe to calendar. If the calendar has been shared with you, you’ll get an email.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:
- On a computer, open the email you sent requesting access.
- Click the link in the email.
- In the Settings page that opens, make sure the person is selected, and choose a permission setting.
- 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.
- On your computer, open Google Calendar.
- On the left, next to "Other calendars," click Add
- Enter the calendar's address.
- Click Add calendar. The calendar appears on the left, under "Other calendars."
Tip: It might take up to 24 hours for changes to show in your Google Calendar.
Hide someone else's calendar
- On your computer, open Google Calendar.
- 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.
