    Is it possible to show a google calendar that is not made available to the public, using the default calendar module?
    On the screenshot, you can see the access permissions. It is not shared with the public but is shared however in my organization.

    I guess it has to do with the credentials, right? Just filling in my google account details in the calendar config (user & pass variables) doesn’t seem to make it work. What am I missing here? What’s the correct way to obtain credentials?

        For each of the available calendar modules you need to have a ical link to a shared calendar that is accessible. usually this is the “public” link or a “private” link with a long random looking string in it, that is actually still a publicly accessible link, but not discoverable, based on a personal or company name.
        this is discussed here.
        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/11963/adding-shared-google-calendars

        The “get shareable link” button you see, probably offers a link that needs explicit authentication as you have worked out.

        auth is documented here in the default calendar module help
        https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/calendar.html#configuration-options

        auth is documented here in the helpfile for MMM-CalendarExt2
        https://github.com/MMM-CalendarExt2/MMM-CalendarExt2/blob/master/docs/Configuration/Calendar.md

        i would try different type of auth, either plain, digest or bearer as there may be restrictions on one or more types of authentication method.

        [edit] I have had more luck with the MMM-calendar-Ext2 module recently
        Hope this helps
