You can choose from calendars in My Calendars (these are the ones that you have permission to view, manage and modify) or Other Calendars (these are the ones that can only be viewed by you). The slots outlined in red are the ones that have not been assigned any event or task in any of the layered calendars, and hence you can select any of them for your get-together.
How do you add your friends’ calendars?
In the Add a coworker’s calendar field, start entering the e-mail addresses of the people whose calendars you wish to view, one at a time. If they’ve already opted for their calendars to be shared, you’ll see their names appearing below. Else, a dialog box will appear wherein you’ll have to send them an invite requesting them to share their calendar with you. Once they accept your invite, you will receive an e-mail notification telling you so.
