Transfer Google Calendar Events

While using G Suite, we get the application Google calendar through which we create events, tasks, set reminders to better organize our work. We even schedule video meetings from Google Calendar. A video meeting link and dial-in number (if you are a G Suite user) is added to a Calendar event either by inviting one or more guests to the event, or by clicking Add conferencing.

At times, it may happen that the owner of a calendar event is leaving the organisation or his/her account is being changed. In those cases, Google calendar provides an option of transferring the created events to another user. We can also transfer the calendar to another user. Let’s see the steps by which we can perform the transfer process.

Transferring a Calendar :

When your account is deleted, your calendar also gets deleted. In order to save the calendar, you can transfer the ownership to someone else. Please follow the below steps:

1. Open Google Calendar.

2. On the left top of the page click on My calendars.

3. Click Options -> More ->  Settings and sharing.

4. Go to "Share with specific people" section and then click Add people.

5. Enter the email address of the person or group you want to make an owner.

6. In the "Permissions" section, select Make changes and manage sharing and then click on send.

The person or the group you added will now also own the calendar.

Transferring an event :

You can also change the ownership of a particular event that you have created. Any changes can be made in the event by the person, once the transfer process is complete. Please follow the below steps:

1. Open Google Calendar.

2. Click on the event that you want to transfer.

3. Go to Options -> Change Owner.

4. Enter the email id of the person you want to make the owner, you can also send a message.

5. Click on Change Owner.

6. The new Owner will get a link via an email. Until that person accepts the ownership, you will be the owner of that selected event.
