It may not occur to us readily that sometimes we need to change the ownership of our Google calendar. There are two main reasons when we need to transfer ownership. Firstly, you created a separate work calendar on Google where you kept track of all events and tasks. But now, it’s time to move on to another organization and therefore, someone else needs to access and manage your calendar.
Secondly, sometimes we create events on our google calendar but circumstances might change and someone else needs to be in charge of this event. In that case, you need to change the ownership of the event so that the concerned person can access it on the calendar and make changes.
This blog discusses ways to change the owner of the entire Google calendar and any specific event on it.
