Streamers: How to Add Streams to the GoT Calendar

Introducing the New GoT Calendar

Until now, we used a hacked together system with Google Calendar. But it was very limited and people often had problems with time zones and events not saving. We've been working behind the scenes toward a better solution using Calendar.Online.   Our new system will give you link for editing access to the GoT streaming calendars. No password or Google account needed anymore. Easy, right?  

   

Seting It Up

We'll ask for your email so we can send you the personalized link(s).

You'll receive an editing link. (FYI. It's not a full-fledged Calendar.Online account. You're part of a team on the GoT account.)

Creating Events

Using the editing link we sent, click and drag on the calendar the times you want for your event.   The creation screen will pop up.   Please be sure to fill in the following parts of the form:           Then save your event.

   

Cancelling a Stream

Simply take the other calendars off your event, and if you want add it to the Cancellations calendar.

 

FAQ

Advantages

The calendar checks for your time zone. No more conversions!

No more google account requirement to have a calendar.

No more messages from Google saying it won't add your events.

No more having to invite a calendar to your event with obscure google addresses no one can remember.

The ability to copy events.

More options for the GoT calendar view

Faster event creation

If life goes crazy for someone or they walk away from the GoT, the officers can remove events or a calendar. We prefer people handling their own calendars, so won't use this option unless we have to. We can easily add it back too!

 

Limitations

You can't create infinitely repeating events.

You can't setup a custom repeat.

We rely on a link for editing. If you your link gets into the wrong hands, please contact us so we can reset it for you!

 

What If I Lose The Link?

We can send it to you.

 

Is It Free?

It is free for you to use. Amy/Shyredfox found a great deal on a lifetime account and purchased it for GoT. We can use an unlimited amount of sub-calendars and links.

 

Calendar Coverage

When we have coverage, it helps us raid each other, so we can bring each other viewers and continue the word count writing train. But we do not have fixed streaming slots and we do not require raiding each other, but it is a friendly and helpful thing. Anyone can stream at any time. Schedule sharing is only intended to enable collaboration. If you end up streaming at the same time as someone else, feel free to attempt collaboration (interviews, co-streams, etc.) but always ensure you and your chat are having fun!   With the number of members we have (over 30 as of this update), it is impossible to create a schedule with no overlap. Stream when you can. If you can fill in gaps, GREAT! But we know everyone has lives and schedules change.     There is no pressure to stick to the schedule. Our purpose is to be supportive and inclusive, and never put the schedule ahead of our people. As a group, we help bring viewers to each other, through raids and by bringing more content to Twitch and more attention to our topics. There will be some audience generated by GoT events, but it is up to you to grow your audience.   We want to be an additive effect for each other's streams. User and community safety and happiness are the top priority. Harassment has no place here. If you ever have a safety concern please feel free to contact a member of our Mod team via our Discord.

 

If You Need To Stop Streaming For A While

It's easy to remove your events. In an emergency, you can contact the calendar coordinator and they will remove your events from the calendar. We know life happens.
