On your computer, open Google Calendar. You can’t share calendars from the Google Calendar app. On the left, find the “My calendars” section. To expand it, click the Down arrow Down arrow. Hover over the calendar you want to share, and click More More and then Settings and sharing. Under “Share with specific people,” click Add people. Add a person’s or Google group’s email address. Use the drop-down menu to adjust their permission settings. Learn more about access permissions. Click Send. The recipient will need to click the emailed link to add the calendar to their list.
