I. Introduction

A subscription calendar feed can create calendar events for all of an organization’s meetings for anyone, especially those who are not invited to the meeting or even members of the organization.

This is done by generating a shareable URL, which recipients can subscribe to within their personal calendar program’s settings.

Calendar events created from a subscription feed include the following details:

• Title

• Date

• Description text, if any

• Location text, if any

The following details are not included in these events:

• Video conferencing URL, if any

• Invitee list

Most major calendar providers update events from subscription feeds infrequently—between once every few hours and once per day.

This means that new meetings, and edits to the details listed above for existing meetings, will be posted to subscribers’ calendars with a delay of up to one day.

Selective calendar feeds are not supported. A complete calendar feed including all meetings in the organization can be enabled or disabled. It cannot be customized to include some meetings, and not others.

To create calendar events in an invitee’s calendar for only some meetings, invite them to these specific meetings. Please see Related Articles for more on invitee calendar events.
