Google Calendar is a great tool for organizing your schedule, but sometimes you may want to keep certain events private. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to hide events on Google Calendar 2024.

Step 1: Create a New Calendar

The first step is to create a new calendar specifically for events you want to hide. To do this, click on the “Create” button in the left sidebar and choose “New calendar”. Give your calendar a name and make sure it’s set to “Hidden” so that it doesn’t show up in your main calendar view.

Step 2: Add Events to the Hidden Calendar

Once you’ve created your hidden calendar, you can start adding events to it. When you create a new event, select the hidden calendar from the dropdown menu instead of your main calendar. The event will still be visible if someone knows the exact URL, but it won’t appear in your main calendar view.

Step 3: Change Event Visibility

If you’ve already added an event to your main calendar and want to hide it, simply edit the event and change the calendar it’s assigned to. You can also change the visibility of an event by clicking on it and selecting “Private” from the dropdown menu.

Question and Answer:

Q: Can I hide events from specific people?

Q: Will hidden events still show up in search results?

Step 4: Share Your Calendar

If you want to share your calendar with someone but don’t want them to see certain events, you can share your main calendar and keep the hidden calendar private. To do this, click on the three dots next to your calendar and select “Settings and sharing”. From there, you can add people to share your calendar with and choose their level of access.
