Next Chapter: Publish and integrate calendars

If you would have a calendar that doesn't contain sensitive information and can be shared with anyone in the world, you can share your calendar with the public.

With this setting, anyone – including parents or other individuals who do not have school Apps accounts – will be able to add your calendar to a Google Calendar account, view an HTML version of the calendar, or subscribe to the calendar using the iCalendar format.

To share your calendar with everybody and make it public for the world, 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 Share only my free/busy information.
  4. Click Save.


To make sure others know about your newly public calendar, you can send them an email with the calendar URL (see the next step).
