I. Intro

A public calendar is available to all and anyone can subscribe to it. Subscribers can view the details of every event in the calendar. Create multiple public calendars to easily share information with your teams.

II. Steps

1. Create a public calendar

Click the + icon on the left sidebar of the calendar homepage and select New calendar.
Set the calendar's Permissions as Public, and anyone will be able to find this calendar and view event details.
Name your public calendar.
After you've finished setting up, click Create and you'll be able to view the new public calendar on the sidebar under My Calendars.

3. Add sharing members

On the left sidebar of the Calendar homepage, click the gear icon next to a public calendar to go to Calendar Settings.

Under Sharing members, add members from your contacts or groups and share the calendar with them. You can also set permission settings for these members.

Owner permissions: The member will be able to change sharing settings for this calendar and create or modify events.
Editor permissions: The member will be able to create and modify events in this calendar.
Follower permissions: The member will be able to view event details in this calendar.
Guest permissions: The member will be able to view whether you are busy or available in this calendar, but they can't see event names or details.

Click Save and newly added members will receive notifications.

4. Make a calendar public to some users only

If you only want some users to see the calendar, then you won't need to set the calendar's permission as Public. Instead, you can add the users or groups you'd like to share the calendar with under Sharing members and grant relevant permissions.

III. FAQs

Why can't I see event details in a calendar I've subscribed to?

This may be because the administrator for this public calendar has given you Guest permissions. Guests can only see whether time slots in the calendar are marked as free or busy, but are unable to see event names or details.
