GroupCal

What is GroupCal?

GroupCal is a shared calendar platform designed for any group that needs to stay in sync. It's the ideal solution for managing team projects, scheduling bookable resources like meeting rooms, organizing community events, publishing class schedules for schools, and even coordinating a busy family calendar.

Does GroupCal work across different devices like iPhone, Android, and Desktop?

Absolutely. GroupCal is fully cross-platform. Your entire group can collaborate seamlessly whether they use an iPhone, an Android device, or the web app on their computer. All schedules stay perfectly in sync for everyone.

How is GroupCal better than just sharing a Google or Outlook Calendar?

While standard calendars let you share a link, their system is designed for individuals to subscribe to a feed, not for a group to truly collaborate . GroupCal was built from the ground up as a group-first platform to solve the key frustrations this causes: Effortless Onboarding: Instead of manually inviting every person by email (a huge pain for communities), GroupCal lets you share one simple link . Members join instantly, with no signup friction. Real-Time Push Notifications: Standard shared calendars don't notify the group when something changes. GroupCal sends instant, "chat-like" push no

Can I use GroupCal to manage multiple calendars at once?

Yes. This is a core strength. You can create unlimited, separate calendars for different teams, projects, community groups, or bookable resources. Then, view everything together in a single, unified dashboard to get a complete picture of your organization's activities. Learn more about Centralized Calendar Management .

Can I share my personal Google, Outlook, or iCloud calendar events using GroupCal?

Yes. Once you connect your personal accounts (Google, Outlook, or iCloud) in GroupCal, you can choose to share their events with others. This feature allows you to give your team, family, or even a larger audience such as a community, visibility into your schedule - for example, seeing your "Busy" times - without leaving the centralized GroupCal platform.

How can I control who can view or edit events in a shared calendar?

GroupCal provides a powerful, granular permissions system essential for teams, businesses, and communities. As an admin, you can set distinct roles (Owner, Admin, Member), control who can add new members, determine who can add/edit events, and even restrict event visibility to show only "Blocked" times for sensitive schedules.

How does a public "Calendar Channel" work?

A Channel is a special type of public calendar designed for broadcasting a schedule to a large audience, like a community or customer base. It's listed in GroupCal's search, can be branded with your logo, and allows unlimited followers to subscribe for real-time updates. See our Brand, Publish & Embed page for more details.

Can I embed a calendar on my organization's website?
