# Connect a calendar

Connect Google Calendar, Outlook, iCloud, any CalDAV calendar, or a calendar link, so your meetings join your day.

Connect your calendars so your meetings show on the [Overview](https://mirahq-stg.app/docs/day/overview) and in [Upcoming](https://mirahq-stg.app/docs/day/upcoming), next to what Mira finds in your mail. You can connect as many as you like, on every plan.

## Before you start

- **iCloud:** create an app-specific password at [account.apple.com](https://account.apple.com), under **Sign-In and Security**.
- **Another CalDAV calendar,** such as Fastmail or Nextcloud: have the calendar's CalDAV address, your user name, and an app password ready.
- **A calendar link:** copy the link that starts with `webcal://` or `https://` from the calendar you want, such as a school timetable.

## Connect it

### Open the calendar settings

Open **Settings**, then **Calendars**, and select **Connect a calendar**.

### Choose your calendar

Choose **Google Calendar**, **Outlook Calendar**, **iCloud Calendar**, **Other calendar**, **Calendar link**, or **Import a file**.

### Sign in or fill in the details

For Google and Outlook, sign in and allow Mira to see your calendar. For iCloud and other calendars, enter your details and select **Connect**. For a link, give it a name and select **Add calendar**. For a file, choose it, give it a name, and select **Import calendar**.

## Check that it worked

The calendar shows under **Connected calendars**. Its meetings appear on the Overview within a few minutes. If a calendar can't be read for a while, Mira says so on the Overview and in **Settings** > **Calendars**, with **Try again**. See [Calendar problems](https://mirahq-stg.app/docs/troubleshooting/calendar-problems).

A calendar link and an imported file can only be read. Mira can't add or change events in them. A link keeps updating when its organiser changes it. An imported file is read once, so later changes to the original don't reach Mira.
