How do I copy a Google Calendar code?

Published in Calendar Embedding 2 mins read

You can copy a Google Calendar embed code to display your calendar on a website or other platform by following these steps:

Steps to Copy Your Google Calendar Code

Here's a breakdown of how to retrieve the necessary code:

  1. Locate Your Calendar:

    • On the left side of your Google Calendar screen, find the list of calendars.
    • Click the name of the specific calendar you want to embed.

  2. Find the Embed Section:

    • You'll see a section titled "Integrate calendar" within the calendar settings.
    • This is where you'll find the code you need.

  3. Copy the iframe Code:

    • Within the "Integrate calendar" section, you will see the iframe code.
    • Copy this iframe code, as this is the basic embed code for your calendar.

  4. Customize Your Embed (Optional):

    • If you want to customize the look and feel of your embedded calendar, click the "Customize" option located beneath the iframe embed code.

  5. Adjust Customization Options:

    • The customization settings will allow you to select preferences like:
      • Calendar view (month, week, day, agenda)
      • Default date
      • Time zone
      • Calendar size (height and width)
      • Display or hide title, navigation, print icon etc.

  6. Copy the HTML Code:

    • After adjusting the settings, copy the HTML code that is generated within the customization options. This code is now ready to be pasted in a website's HTML code.

Code Snippet Example:

Here's an example of how the iframe embed code might look:

<iframe src="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yourcalendarid%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York" style="border: 0" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

And here’s an example of what a customized HTML code could look like, with an example of some customized options:

<iframe src="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%23ffffff&amp;ctz=America%2FNew_York&amp;src=yourcalendarid%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%23039BE5&amp;showTitle=0&amp;showNav=1&amp;showPrint=0&amp;showTabs=0&amp;showCalendars=0&amp;showTz=0" style="border:solid 1px #777" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Important Considerations:

  • Privacy: Be mindful of the information you are sharing publicly when embedding a calendar.
  • Website Compatibility: Ensure that the website you embed the calendar into can render the code correctly.
  • Updates: Any changes you make to your Google Calendar will be automatically reflected on the embedded version.
