Add TV shows to Google Calendar

1. 1Open tvcal and add the shows you watch to your watchlist, or open any show page.
2. 2Tap “Subscribe in Calendar” and choose Google Calendar.
3. 3Google Calendar opens and asks whether to add the calendar. Click Add.

1. 1In tvcal, tap “Subscribe in Calendar” and copy the calendar link.
2. 2On a computer, open calendar.google.com.
3. 3In the left sidebar, click the + next to “Other calendars”, then choose “From URL”.
4. 4Paste the tvcal link and click “Add calendar”.

Google Calendar only lets you add calendars by URL on the web. Once added, the calendar shows up in the Google Calendar apps for Android and iPhone as well.

1. 1Android: open Google Calendar → Settings, tap the tvcal calendar and turn on Sync.
2. 2iPhone: open the Google Calendar app → menu, and make sure the tvcal calendar is ticked.

• Use “From URL”, not “Import”. An imported .ics file is a one-off copy and never updates.
• Give the tvcal calendar its own colour so episodes stand out from meetings.
• Google refreshes subscribed calendars on its own schedule, usually within several hours, so a just-announced episode can take a while to appear.
