Making plans together with someone? Instead of creating separate events with the risk of getting out of sync when the specifics of the event change, one person should create a shared event.

To create a shared event in the Vivaldi Calendar:

1. First, ensure you have added at least one of your email accounts to Vivaldi Mail in Settings > Mail.
2. Then, go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Integration > Calendar Mail Account, and select your preferred mail account to be used for sending invites.
3. In the Calendar, create a new event and fill out the details.
4. In the Participants section of the event editor, type the email addresses of people you want to invite to the event. Press “Enter” to add them.
5. Click “Done” when you’re ready with the event setup.
6. Review the event invite and, if you wish, add a message.
7. Click “Send”.

When you edit shared events, you can send a new email invite to the participants or skip notifying them.

A calendar is vital for keeping up with a busy schedule. To make it easier to view and manage your events and tasks, you can create multiple calendars for various types of obligations in your Vivaldi Calendar. You can also assign a different color for each calendar to make the events stand out more.

To create a new calendar:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendars.
2. Click on + Add Calendar below the list of existing calendars.
3. Select which account the calendar should belong to, give the calendar a name, choose a color and look over
4. Click “Save” to create the new calendar.

If you frequently add the same kind of event (birthday, doctor’s appointment, meeting, etc.) but it doesn’t occur regularly so you can’t set recurrence to it, you can use event templates to speed up adding new events instead.

To create a template:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Event Templates.
2. Click on Add Template below the list of existing templates.
3. Fill out the event details.
4. Click Save.

Alternatively, you can create a new template directly from the event editor > Templates > Create New Event Template.

So you created an event in your Vivaldi Calendar, but still missed it because you didn’t check your Calendar at the right time? To prevent this from happening again, set reminders for your events. You can add one manually for each event or you can set default reminders for all events.

To set default reminders:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing.
2. Choose how much before you should be reminded of upcoming events.

You can set separate reminders for regular and all-day events.

In Vivaldi Calendar’s day and week view, each hour is further divided into 15-minute increments, so you can easily set the start time of an event to something else than the beginning of the hour by just clicking at the right place.

To make the increments longer:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Time Increments.
2. And choose between:
   • 15 minutes
   • 30 minutes
   • 1 hour.

You can also choose, whether you want the dividing lines between these smaller timeslots to be visible (like on the screenshot below) or not by toggling on or off the setting for “Show Only 1 Hour Grid Lines”.

Especially useful with Vivaldi Calendar’s Minimal View, but handy in all views, event property icons for links, location, reminders and recurrence let you know at a glance what type of additional information the event includes.

To enable the icons:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display.
2. Enable “Show Event Property Icons”.

Web calendars, for example local public holidays or your favorite sports team’s match calendar, are a good way to follow events that you don’t want to add manually yourself, but would still like to know about. Web calendar events are read-only, meaning you can view them, but only the calendar owner can edit the events.

To subscribe to a web calendar from a website:

1. Look for a Subscribe or similarly named button or link and click on it. Vivaldi Calendar will detect the action and offer to import the events.
2. Select the calendar you want to import the calendar events to or create a new one.
3. Click Import.

To manually add a web calendar:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Accounts.
2. Add a new account and select Web Calendar.
3. Click Continue.
4. Give the Calendar account a name.
5. Enter the calendar’s link (make sure the URL ends with .ics).
6. If the web calendar has limited access, enter your username and password. In case it’s a public calendar leave the username and password fields empty.
7. Click Add Account.
8. Select the calendars you want to sync with Vivaldi Calendar, which one’s to hide and which one is the account’s default calendar.
9. Click Done.
