How do I link my Google Calendar to my Google Calendar?

The question "How do I link my Google Calendar to my Google Calendar?" is a bit ambiguous. It could refer to a few different scenarios:

1. Syncing a Google Calendar with another Google Calendar account (e.g., a personal calendar with a work calendar): This allows you to see events from both calendars in one place.
2. Sharing a Google Calendar with another Google Calendar user: This gives another person permission to view (and possibly edit) your calendar.
3. Embedding a Google Calendar on a website or another application.

Let's address each scenario:

1. Syncing Two Google Calendar Accounts

Technically, you don't "link" or "sync" two separate accounts directly within Google Calendar to create a combined view on the web. Instead, the best way to see events from multiple Google Calendar accounts in one place is to:

• Add the other account within the Google Calendar app (on mobile): The Google Calendar app on Android or iOS allows you to add multiple Google accounts. Once added, you can choose which calendars from each account to display.

• Share the other account's calendar with your primary account (See section 2) and then display it: After sharing as outlined below, your primary Google Calendar will be able to display the events from the shared calendar.

2. Sharing a Google Calendar with Another Google Calendar User

This is the most common scenario people refer to when they want to "link" calendars. This allows someone else (or your other account) to see your events. Here's how to do it:

1. Open Google Calendar: Go to Google Calendar in a web browser.

2. Find the Calendar: In the left sidebar, hover over the calendar you want to share, and click the three dots (more options).

3. Select "Settings and sharing": A settings page for that specific calendar will open.

4. Share with specific people or groups: In the "Share with specific people or groups" section, click "Add people."

5. Enter the email address(es): Type the email address(es) of the Google account(s) you want to share with.

6. Set Permissions: Use the dropdown menu next to the email address to choose the permission level:

   • See only free/busy (hide details): They can see when you are busy, but not the details of your events.
   • See all event details: They can see the details of all your events.
   • Make changes to events: They can add, edit, or delete events.
   • Make changes AND manage sharing: They can add, edit, delete events and share the calendar with others. Use this option cautiously.

7. Send: Click "Send". The person will receive an email with a link to add your calendar to their Google Calendar.

3. Embedding a Google Calendar

If you want to display your Google Calendar on a website:

1. Open Google Calendar: Go to Google Calendar in a web browser.
2. Find the Calendar: In the left sidebar, hover over the calendar you want to embed, and click the three dots (more options).
3. Select "Settings and sharing".
4. Integrate calendar: Select "Integrate calendar."
5. Embed code: Copy the iframe code. You can customize the appearance of the embedded calendar using the options provided.
6. Paste the code: Paste the copied code into the HTML of your website.
