# Personal iCal subscription

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.

## Where you do it

![The Subscribe to this calendar dialog, explaining that the feed stays up to date in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, above a Create subscription link button.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/175b52f2-73e9-4e80-bfa6-ab993bbc9d8c.webp)

No feed exists until somebody creates one, and each person creates their own from this panel.
