Resolution
You can share your Yahoo! Calendar with a Windows Live Calendar, a Google Calendar, or other third-party services that support the ".ics" iCalendar format.
Understanding sharing your Yahoo! Calendar outside of Yahoo!:
- They won't be able to edit your calendar: The person you share your calendar with (recipient) will have view-only access and not be able update the calendar.
- Yahoo! Calendar doesn't automatically send updates: The recipient will need to use an automatic or manual refresh option provided by their Calendar service (if available).

- Follow the steps in our help article on how to begin the sharing process with another user.
- The recipient will receive an email with third-party sharing information.
- In step 2, they will need to use the iCalendar ".ics" web address, listed beside "Add to Outlook, Apple iCal, or another calendar."
- The web address will contain ".ics" and look similar to this example: http://calendar.yahoo.com/[yahoo-id]/123a456/ycal.ics?id=001 - The recipient will need to refer to their email provider's product documentation for detailed steps on using this link in their calendar, to complete the sharing process.
