The Google Calendar Embed is a media library item that may be repurposed throughout the site, either inside a Basic Page or inside a Landing Page's Layout.
Most likely if you are embedding a specific Google Calendar, you already have a Google Calendar that you are managing here: https://calendar.google.com. Your calendar will have a name and will be "public," meaning the general public may view it.
At this Other Calendars header, choose to Browser calendars of interest.
Or, go to your existing calendar if you already have one that is publicly available.
Each individual calendar has a link associated with it. Choose from what is publicly available or, more likely, what you already are managing.
For each calendar, there is a Google-generated link in the Public URL to this calendar
Note that you may already have items inside your existing media library at Content | Media | Media library
For adding a new media library Google Calendar embed, navigate to Content | Media | Add media | Google Calendar
When creating a new Media item, you may then input that URL, so that the Public URL to this calendar, is inputted into the Remote Media URL
Google Calendar Embeds work with both Basic Pages as well as in the Landing Page.
On a new or existing Landing page, create a new Section, then create a new Block, then choose your desired Google Calendar from the available options, and it will automatically "stretch" to the page.
Log in to your site
Everyone who writes things on this website has a special title. These titles give them certain abilities, like who can edit, review and publish what. You can ask for a different title or take one away from someone using the user manager.
Navigate to the Media Library
Navigate to the Media Library through two main methods.
Option #1: Hover over Content in the top left corner, then over Media, and select Media library.
Option #2: Click on Content in the top left corner, then, on the next page, select the Media tab.
Create a new media library item of type "Google Calendar"
The Google Calendar may be embedded into either an existing Basic Page or in its own page.
As an example, here is a sample Google Calendar (Public URL to the calendar):
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ht3jlfaac5lfd6263ulfh4tql8%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FDetroit
