Seems like material design eye candy. Any ways to take a screen shot of your google calendar while hiding the titles? To share with external people to schedule

Seems like material design eye candy. Any ways to take a screen shot of your google calendar while hiding the titles? To share with external people to schedule meetings.

The fact that you want to share a screenshot of a web app to share with other people suggests that some workflows are broken and some features are missing :(

  Nothing is missing. You can already do what OP is looking for (share your availability without showing titles' name). Will share it in the original comment.

  I believe the only way right now is to make the calendar public/shareable, while enabling the option to hide the event details. I do not want my calendar link public, I only want to show a defined timeframe snapshot. So yah, I think you are right.

    Your calendar link will not be public, you only give access to one person and can hide all of the events' details. If that's still too much and you want to only share availability for one week, maybe you can use appointment slots?

      If I want to share today's schedule with someone, but do not want them to see my schedule tomorrow, what is my option? Screenshot.

No need to go around sharing screenshots, there's a much easier way: You can share [0] your work calendar with anybody you want (or if your company is using GSuite, they can give people access to their colleagues' calendars); if events' titles are sometimes confidential, you can either set those to secret, and people will see them as "busy" without any other information, or you can set your whole calendar to secret and all events will look that way. You can also use appointment slots [1] if that works better for your use case.

  Thanks for the help. Sadly the appointment slot functionality relies on having meetings set to secret, otherwise the person looking to schedule a slot can see everything, and you can also see any week. If I set the calendar to 'busy' for all meetings, my gsuite coworkers can't see my calendar anymore.

    You can give view permission to just a subset of coworkers and make it free/busy for anyone else.

I've recently built a small web app to share your calendar (with hidden event titles) via a private link: https://cal.tf/ https://cal.tf/
