Google: Transfer Ownership of Calendar Events You Created

Environment

U-M Google, Calendar

Issue

How do I transfer ownership of a Google Calendar event I created?

Resolution

Transfer ownership of an event to a calendar you don't own

1. Go to Google Calendar.
2. Click the event you want to transfer from your calendar and click the three-dot icon in the top-right corner.
3. Select Change owner from the drop-down.
4. Enter a new owner in the field provided and a message to send them.
   • The new owner doesn't need to be an invited guest on the event you're transferring.
5. Click Change owner.

After you transfer an event to another owner, they will receive an email with a link. The new owner has 60 days to accept ownership, and you remain the owner until then.

Important things to note:

• You can’t transfer events with more than 200 guests to another owner or calendar.
• When you transfer events with a Google Meet link, the videoconferencing policies applicable to that event are also affected. Learn how Google Meet settings apply to events created on or transferred to other calendars.
