How do I add a calendar to Google family?

Published in Google Calendar Family 2 mins read

To add events to your existing Google family calendar, you do not create a new calendar, but rather add events to the existing one. Here's how:

  1. Open Google Calendar: Access Google Calendar on your computer or mobile device.
  2. Select Your Family Calendar: In the "Calendar" section on the left side, locate your family calendar's name. Use the drop-down menu to ensure the family calendar is selected.
  3. Add an Event: Create an event by:
    • Clicking on an empty time slot in the calendar view.
    • Clicking the "Create" button.
    • Adding a title and event details such as date, time, and location.
  4. Invite Others (Optional): If desired, you can invite non-family members to the event. This is useful for appointments or events that involve people outside your family.

You can also add events to your Google family calendar from your mobile device following the same principle.

Here's a summary table:

Step Action Details
1 Open Google Calendar Access via computer or mobile device
2 Select Family Calendar Use the drop-down menu in the "Calendar" section
3 Add Event Click a time slot or use the "Create" button, add title and details
4 Invite Others (Optional) Invite non-family members to the event

This approach uses the family calendar that was already created when you set up your Google family group. You can have different views and color codes to easily identify the activities of family members.
