Using the Teamup calendar, as used in QEA

Subscribing to the calendar

You are not required to subscribe to the QEA calendar, but doing so allows it to appear next to your personal calendar in Outlook or Google Calendar. We hope this makes it possible to "notice" when office hours are happening without having to explicitly check. This is an experiment.

Follow the instructions here (for Google Calendar or Outlook).

The "feed URL" should come from the table below:

All Events webcal://ics.teamup.com/feed/ks9qxcm91eqa3668wi/0.ics
All Office Hours webcal://ics.teamup.com/feed/kszaak9dm7r3rdg1fn/0.ics
Class periods only webcal://ics.teamup.com/feed/ks9qxcm91eqa3668wi/3735226.ics
Professor Hours Only webcal://ics.teamup.com/feed/ks9qxcm91eqa3668wi/3735220.ics
NINJA Hours Only webcal://ics.teamup.com/feed/ks9qxcm91eqa3668wi/3735192.ics

 

Setting up Teamup for another organization

Using Teamup calendar is an experiment, if it goes well, other organizations (classes, clubs, teams, etc.) are welcome to try as well. This page documents various tips used in setting it up for QEA that might be useful.

Embedding

Teamup allows for customized embedding through URL manipulation and iframes. The code used on this site is...

<iframe src="https://teamup.com/ksibd8hjseukqomw2y?view=w&amp;showHeader=0&amp;showSidepanel=0" width="100%" height="500"></iframe>

This code sets the calendar to a 6-day view, hides the header, and hides the side panel, making it more suited for embedding. Full doucmentation about available embed codes is available at https://calendar.teamup.com/kb/calendar-link-parameters/

Note that the ID used here is for read-only access to the calendar.

Generating subscribe links

Single-tag subscription links are easy. For a link that allows subscription to multiple calendars (NINJA hours + Professor hours), use the "Sharing" tab in settings to make a new view-only link with access to those calendars, then using that link, get the webcal subscription feed from there.
