Shared calendar
You can share your calendar so friends can see your plans, or so your family can keep track of a shared schedule.
Sharing a calendar
Calendars can be shared with people who have a Yandex account. You can set different permissions for your calendar, such as allow some users to only view the events you create, while others will be able to add their own events and edit yours.
You can only share your calendar on the site for now.
You can use shared calendars both on the site and in the mobile app.
-
Go to calendar.yandex.com.
-
Hover over the calendar name on the panel to the left and click
.
-
Go to the Access tab.
-
Enter the email address of the person you want to share the calendar with and press Enter on your keyboard. You can add multiple emails.
Those you invited are granted View open events access. You can view the access level below the email addresses you enter.
View open events access means that other people will be able to see the name and description of events for which you've set visibility to All.
Here's how the visibility option looks like in the event creation form.
For example, you shared the calendar with Sasha and Marina and granted them access to view open events. If you create the event "Visit Mom" with visibility set to All, both Sasha and Marina will be able to see it. If you create an event "Choose a gift for Sasha", invite only Marina, and set visibility to Participants, only Marina will be able to view the event. Sasha will only see that you'll be busy at that time.
If you need to change the access level, click View open events and select the desired option from the drop-down list:
-
View all events: The invited users will see all your events, even if no one participates in them. This includes your workouts, doctor's appointments, and so on. They will know when and what you're busy with, but they won't be able to edit your calendar.
-
View all events and create new ones: The invited users will be able to view all your events and create new ones. Only you can edit and delete events.
-
Edit calendar contents: The invited users will have full access to the calendar. They'll be able to add, edit, and delete any events.

Click Save.
Those you shared the calendar with need to accept the invitation following these instructions to be able to use it.
