Each signed-in user can mint a personal, read-only feed link for a saved calendar from the Subscribe (calendar-plus) button. The panel shows the URL with a Copy button, one-click Google, Apple and Outlook buttons, and a Revoke link button. Google opens calendar.google.com with the feed, Apple opens the webcal:// form, Outlook opens outlook.live.com's add-from-web page. The panel warns that if the hand-off is blocked you should copy the URL and add it manually.
