How to Embed Multiple Google Calendars

There are times where you might want to share more than one Google calendar on your Google Site, Wiki, or in Edline.   

The instructions below will allow you to share multiple calendars with your different calendars remaining color coded.

For more information on creating a Google Calendar, check out the blog entry Creating Multiple Google Calendars.

  1. Select a single calendar that will be used on the overall calendar.  In this example I will use my WinchesterPS calendar.
     
  2.  Click on the little arrow next to the name on the calendar (as in 1 right).
     
  3. Select Calendar settings (as in 2 right).



  1. On the Calendar Details page, go to the Embed This Calendar section and select Customize the color, size, and other options link.  (as highlighted in yellow below).
  1. This brings you to the Google Embeddable Calendar Helper page
    (see image below).
     
    1. Give your calendar a name.
       
    2. Select the options that you want to show, and the default view.
       
    3. Choose the size of the calendar.  Often times you will find that you will have to make the calendar smaller to fit correctly on your web page.
    4. Select the calendars that you want to display. In this example, I chose the Computer Integration Lab and Instructional Technology PD calendars.
       
    5. View the calendar.  This allows you to see what your calendar will look like on your page. If you do not like the options that you have chosen, this is the time to make changes.
       
    6. When the calendar appears as you wish, copy the embed code by select the code, right-click, and select copy.  
    7. Open your Google Site, Edline, or wiki page and add this code where appropriate.
