In order to obtain a sharing URL, within your desired calendar, click “three dots icon“, and from the list of options select “Export to Apple Calendar“.
2. Turn on URL sharing
Once a popup window appears, click the “Turn on external sharing” option. This option will generate a URL to be used in the Apple calendar.
3. Copy the sharing URL
Once the URL has been generated, you can copy it by:
- double clicking the url field
- then pressing
CMD+Con your keyboard, to copy the selected text
4. Create a subscription in Apple Calendar
Now open Apple calendar on your Mac, Choose File > New Calendar Subscription.
Now enter the web sharing address copied from the previous step and click “Subscribe“.
5. Configuration
Apple Calendar will ask you about some configuration options, for example where the calendar should be stored (either only on your Mac, or also on your iCloud drive, if you want to use reminders…etc).
You can learn more about the Apple Calendar configuration options here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/calendar/icl1022/mac#iclb15a6b524.

Once you set up the calendar configuration as described in the previous step, the calendar is ready to be used.
Event events are loaded in the background and should be visible in a couple of seconds.
