- Click Add people under “Share with specific people.”
- Add the email address of a person or Google organisation. Change their permission settings using the drop-down menu. Study up on access permissions.

How to share your Google Calendar with everyone in your organisation
If you use Calendar for work as well as your organisation, you’ll find the option to make your calendar accessible to everyone in your organisation under “Access permissions.”
With this setting:
- Your calendar is accessible to those working for your company.
- Your calendar won’t be accessible to those people outside of your company.
- You can share the meeting information with people outside of your company if you invite them.
