Introduction

Google Calendar is a great tool for keeping track of your schedule. It’s even better when you can share your calendar with others, such as your family. In this article, we’ll show you how to add family members to your Google Calendar for the year 2024.

Step 1: Set Up Your Family Group

The first step is to set up a family group in your Google account. Go to families.google.com and set up your family group. You can add up to six family members to your group.

Step 2: Share Your Calendar

Once you’ve set up your family group, you’ll want to share your calendar with them. To do this, go to your Google Calendar and click on the three dots next to your calendar name. Select “Settings and sharing” and then click on “Share with specific people.”

Question:

What if I want to share my calendar with someone who is not in my family group?

Answer:

You can still share your calendar with someone who is not in your family group. Just enter their email address in the “Add people” field and select the level of access you want to give them.

Step 3: Add Family Members to Your Calendar

To add family members to your calendar, go back to the “Settings and sharing” page and scroll down to the “Settings for my calendars” section. Click on “Family” and then select the family member you want to add to your calendar. Choose the level of access you want to give them, such as “Make changes and manage sharing.”

Question:

Can family members see all of my calendar events?

Answer:

It depends on the level of access you give them. If you give them “Make changes and manage sharing” access, they will be able to see all of your calendar events. If you give them “See only free/busy (hide details),” they will only be able to see when you are busy or available.

Step 4: Add Family Events to Your Calendar

Now that you’ve added your family members to your calendar, you can start adding family events. To do this, click on the date and time of the event and enter the event details. Then, click on “More options” and select the family members you want to invite to the event. Click “Save” to add the event to your calendar.

Question:

What if I want to create a recurring family event?

Answer:

You can create a recurring family event by clicking on “Does not repeat” and selecting the frequency you want the event to repeat.

Step 5: Manage Your Family Calendar

Now that you’ve set up your family calendar, you’ll want to manage it. To do this, click on the three dots next to your family calendar name and select “Settings and sharing.” From here, you can change the level of access for your family members, remove family members, and manage notifications.

Conclusion

Adding family members to your Google Calendar is a great way to keep everyone on the same page. By following these simple steps, you can easily share your calendar with your family and start scheduling family events. With Google Calendar, staying organized has never been easier!
