Syncing Google Calendar with Canvas Calendar?

[JenniferIntelic]

I know it is possible to sync the Canvas calendar with a Google calendar, but am I able to sync or import a Google calendar into Canvas?

Thank you!

Hello @JenniferIntelic 

Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. The short answer is no - you can sync your Canvas Calendar to other calendars like Google but you cannot import personal calendar data to your Canvas page. The calendar was a custom built tool to display events and assignments for  the courses you are taking and  doesn't function fully like your Google Calendar. Unfortunately, you would need to make events manually. Here is the Canvas guide:

Hi @JenniferIntelic ,

I'm not sure about your exact need, but you can display your Google calendar on a Canvas Page if that suits your needs. You could do this by getting the embed code for your Google calendar (instructions here) and then using the embed tool on the page (the cloud icon on the tool bar). This would allow your Canvas users to view your selected Google calendar, and it would update dynamically in Canvas when you updated it in Google. If you also synced your Canvas calendar into your Google, then the Google calendar that displayed on your Canvas page would show Canvas items, too.
