2. Add a Google Calendar with the Embed widget [back to top]
There's also a direct way to integrate a Google Calendar to your start.me page. For this method, you don't use our calendar widget, but our Embed Content widget, This is how you proceed:
- Open your Google Calendar on a computer. You'll need the desktop version for this to work.
- In the top right, click Settings.
- On the left side of the screen, click the name of the calendar you want to embed.
- In the "integrate calendar" section, copy the iframe code displayed.
- Go to your start.me page, and click the Add content button.
- Click the 'Embed' option. A new embed widget will open.
- Paste the iframe code you've copied.
You can further personalize this calendar by clicking within the embedded calendar, or by clicking the context menu. More information about the Google Calendar is in their Support section.
3. Context menu [back to top]
You can personalize your Calendar widget through the context menu by clicking the Menu button (Downward arrow icon) in the top right corner of your Calendar widget. 
From the context menu, you can add a new calendar. You can also change the name of the calendar you've just added. The entire widget can also be copied or moved to another page. You can quickly delete the Calendar widget or open the Settings pane, to personalize it even more. And there's quick access to the help section (this very article).
4. General Settings menu [back to top]
In the General settings pane, you can decide the title of your Agenda. You can decide how to display the calendar: in the month display or as a list. Choose the Time notation here, and decide on which day your week begins.
You can also change the icon by uploading your own or selecting one from our database. Click Done to save your changes.
5. Background Settings [back to top]
In the Background pane, you can change the color of your Calendar widget or set the transparency to blend the widget into the background. Feel free to experiment with new colors.

Where do I find the widgets???
Where do I set the time zone? Especially for sharing with other people?
I believe the time zone is set in the settings for your Google Calendar, not in the widget.
Thanks! I partially tracked it down to Google Calendar. Unfortunately, the calendar I'm having trouble with isn't mine, and there's no way to change the default (which is GMT). Also, with different users in different time zones, it would be useful to have more user end flexibility on the matter.
How to I get All of my calendars to show on the widget? It is only allowing my default one
Where do I authorise Start.me to access my Google Calendar on iPad?
