How to Show Birthdays in Google Calendar
Birthdays in Google Calendar come from your Google contacts. Tick Birthdays in the left column to show them, and add a birthday to a contact, or create a birthday event, to make a new one show up.
Step by step
- Open calendar.google.com on a computer.
- In the left column, under My calendars, tick Birthdays.
- To add one, click Create and choose Birthday, or add a birthday to the contact.
- Untick Birthdays to hide them all.
Good to know
- Birthdays come from your own contacts, and from people who chose to share theirs.
- Birthdays repeat every year by themselves.
