Subscribing to Any Public iCal Calendar
Many websites that post schedules and events, such as sports teams and theaters, make their calendars available in the iCal format. You can add these public, view-only calendars to your Yahoo! Calendar.
Here’s How
Have the iCal address ready to be paste or type into the Subscribe to Calendar page. This example uses the San Francisco 49ers schedule.
Make sure your calendars are visible by clicking the calendars and search icon (
).
Click the plus sign (
) to the right of Calendars on
the left side of the page, then select Subscribe to Calendar from
the menu.
The Subscribe to Calendar page opens.
Type the iCal address in the box, then click the Next button.
The page updates to let you add a display name and a color.
Type a display name for the calendar and select a color.
Click the Save button to save your new calendar.
Your subscription calendar appears below the line in the Calendars list.
What’s Next
If you want to hide any calendar from view, click the box to the left of the name. The calendar remains in your list, but its events aren’t displayed in the calendar. Click the box when you want to view the events again.
If you no longer want a subscription calendar, you can remove it from Yahoo! Calendar.
