FAQ
Q: How do I change someone’s level of access to my calendar?
A: To change someone’s level of access, click on the “Settings” button next to their name. From there, you can choose to make them an owner, editor, or viewer of your calendar.
Q: Can I share my calendar with someone who doesn’t have a Google account?
A: Yes, you can! When you share your calendar, you’ll have the option to send an email invitation to someone who doesn’t have a Google account. They’ll be able to view your calendar in their web browser.
Q: Can I share just one event on my calendar?
