Tips on How to Embed a Google Calendar Widget in Sites

How to a Insert Calendar Gadget into Your Website

Google Sites makes it incredibly easy to add a calendar to your page. First of all, make sure the calendar already actually exists in the Google Calendar application. Remember, just because it is embedded on the page doesn't mean you manage a calendar in Google Sites. You need to consider your calendar settings and sharing permissions from that app itself. Here's how to get the calendar on your webpage:

• Begin in edit mode for Google Sites, which should have a publish button in the top right

• Select Insert from the right hand sidebar

• Scroll down to Calendar and select that

• From the Google Calendar menu here, you can see all the calendars you have access to as Owner or as shared. There are also other calendars like domain-wide birthdays if enabled and general use holiday calendars.

• Select 1-5 calendars to insert into the page. If you select multiple calendars from this screen, then they will be all aggregated into one gadget view. Different colors are automatically assigned.

• Customize your calendar embed via settings such as Use user time zone, calendar title, show date, show navigation buttons, etc.
