2. Click Options near your calendar (three horizontal lines) >> Share/Permissions:



3. In a pop-up window, make sure that the Anyone with the link and invited people option is selected, and click on Copy link (it will be saved to your clipboard). After that, click Save:



4. Now, open your Google Calendar at https://calendar.google.com and go to Settings:



5. Under the Add calendar section, choose the option From URL. Paste the link you just copied into the URL of the calendar field, and click Add calendar:
