Fellow links your calendar directly to your meeting notes, making it easy to stay organized before, during, and after every meeting. This article explains which calendar types Fellow supports, and what to keep in mind when syncing multiple calendars.

Supported calendar types

Fellow supports Google Calendar and Office 365 (including Outlook calendars that are part of an Office 365 account). Microsoft Exchange calendars are not supported.

Note: Fellow supports syncing multiple calendars within a single Google or Office 365 account. See how to sync multiple calendars to get set up.

Important: You can only sync calendars belonging to one Google or Office 365 account. Syncing calendars across two separate Google or Office accounts is not supported.

Conditions for syncing multiple calendars

To sync a calendar with Fellow, both of the following conditions must be met:

  1. The calendar is on the same Google or Office account linked to Fellow

  2. You have full permission to edit and view the calendar

Permission difference between Google and Office: You can sync a Google Calendar you don't own, as long as you have editing access. You cannot sync an Office 365 calendar you don't own, even with editing access - you must be the owner.

Calendars on the same Google or Office account

These are the calendars that appear under My Calendars in your Google or Office 365 account. If you have multiple calendars within the same account, you can sync all of them with Fellow - provided you have the right permissions.

For example, if your Fellow account is linked to Account A, you can sync Calendar A, B, and C (all from Account A). You cannot sync Calendars E, F, and G if they belong to a different Google or Office account.

Full edit permissions required

To sync a calendar with Fellow, you need full permission to edit it - not just to view it.

Checking permissions in Google

  1. Open Google Calendar and click the gear icon to go to Settings.

  2. Under Settings for my calendars, select the calendar you want to check.

  3. Scroll down to Share with specific people or groups.

  4. Confirm the permission level is set to "Make changes and manage sharing".

Checking permissions in Office 365

  1. In Outlook, locate the calendar under My Calendars in the left sidebar.

  2. Click the three dots (…) next to the calendar name.

  3. Select Sharing and Permissions.

  4. Confirm the permission level is set to "Can edit".

For example: if your account has Calendars A, B, C, and D, you can sync A, B, and C because you have full permissions. Calendar D cannot be synced if you only have view-only access, any events from Calendar D will not appear in Fellow.
