First things first: you can only share your Google calendar from a computer (or web browser in desktop mode), as the Android app doesn’t support this feature. Honestly it’s a huge oversight and something that hopefully eventualyl changes, but for now there’s no real way around this.

To get started, visit the Google Calendar website at the link and locate the “My calendars” section on the left side of the interface. Hover the mouse over the calendar you want to share, click the options icon (three vertical dots), and then select “Settings and sharing”.

From there, you can choose between two different sharing options. The first is allowing anyone with a link to see your calendar. This likely isn’t the best option for most people, as the calendar can also pop up when people Google your name. If that doesn’t scare you off, you can enable this by checking the “Make available to public” box. Then select “Get shareable link”, copy it, and send it to whoever you’d like.

The second option is the one that makes the most sense to the majority of users: it lets you share your calendar with specific people. Click on “Add people” under the “Share with specific people” section, write in email addresses of the people you want to share your calendar with, and define their permissions (see only, edit…).

After that’s done, hit the send button to ship out emails to the people you’ve selected. Google will then automatically add your calendar to their accounts, which they’ll be able to access from the “Other calendars” section.
