How public calendars work
When you make a calendar public, other people can:
- Find your public calendar on a website. If this website is searchable, people can find your calendar in search results.
- Sync your calendar with other applications.
- Subscribe to your public calendar and check it in Google Calendar.
When you make a calendar public, you can choose to let other people check all the event details or just when you're free or busy.
