A URL subscription keeps a separate read-only calendar of bookings without granting Google account access
Start by identifying who owns the decision and which availability is authoritative. Empty calendar space is not automatically bookable capacity: working hours, notice, buffers, preparation, travel, and daily limits all shape the honest set of choices.
Use the private feed, not the public booking page
The booking page is for guests. The calendar subscription is a separate private URL available from the account dashboard. Copy the full address and do not paste it into a document or public message.
Add the feed by URL
| Step | Google Calendar action | Expected result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open Settings or the plus menu beside Other calendars | Subscription choices appear |
| 2 | Choose From URL and paste the private address | A new calendar is added |
| 3 | Rename or color the calendar | Meetin.gs bookings stay identifiable |
| 4 | Create one test booking | Event appears after Google's refresh |
Know the limits of a subscribed calendar
Google controls refresh timing, so a new event may not appear immediately. The feed is read-only and does not send Google busy time back to Meetin.gs. Use the free account calendar tools for display, and review calendar connection requirements before promising conflict protection.
Remove or rotate the subscription safely
If the link is exposed, revoke it in Meetin.gs first. Remove the old calendar from Google Calendar, create a new feed, and add that replacement. A copied private URL should be assumed readable by its holder.
