If you no longer hold the responsibility of an event created in Google Calendar, you can simply transfer the ownership to someone else. So, in this article, we will be discussing how to transfer event ownership in Google Calendar.

Google Calendar allows the users to pre-schedule meetings and events. Also, you get reminders of the forthcoming events. Additionally, you can customize the calendar and share and view the calendars of other team members. Moreover, Google Calendar allows the users to create shared calendars as well as delete a calendar.

So, in case you are unable to continue with an event created in Google Calendar, you may choose to transfer its ownership. So, without wasting any more time, let’s dive into the topic directly.

Maybe you set up events for your boss or supervisor. Or perhaps you created an event that you can no longer attend. You can transfer the ownership of a Google Calendar event to another person and make them the organizer.

Change the Owner of an Event

Visit Google Calendar on the web and select the event you want to edit. You can make the change in the event’s pop-up window or detail page.

In the pop-up window for the event, click the three dots on the top right to view the Options. Pick “Change Owner.”

On the event detail page, select the More Actions drop-down box on the top right and pick “Change Owner.”

Then, enter the name or email address for the new owner and choose the person from the suggestions. The person you select does not have to be a current event attendee.

You can use the default message, edit it, or enter your own. Click “Change Owner” when you finish.

Note: If you change the organizer for a repeating event, this affects all future events. At the time of writing, you cannot transfer ownership for only one event in a series.

The new owner will receive an email with your message and a link to accept this change to make them the organizer of the meeting.

Accept as the New Owner

If someone transfers a meeting to you, you can simply click the link in the email to accept the change.

You’ll be directed straight to the event in Google Calendar and see a brief message at the bottom that you are the new owner of the meeting. From there, the event appears and functions as if you created it yourself.

Having the ability to change the organizer for a Google Calendar event is a convenient feature. Whether you’re tasked with creating meetings for someone else or an emergency arises and you cannot host an event you’ve scheduled, you can easily give the organizer duty to someone else.

nvm...I misunderstood a previous response from Ross to mean gam calendar...move recurring event... is correct syntax. It isn't. As the error indicates, recurring is invalid. I was also incorrectly using a recurring event instance ID, which might look something like u8n0fbn0i6n86nduvhjf19c9pc_R20220201T150000. It took me a bit to correctly guess that the id for the master event is the same as an instance ID but omits the underscore separator and date/time specifier. For the pseudo example instance ID provided, the master event ID would be u8n0fbn0i6n86nduvhjf19c9pc.
Now on to tackle a "You need to have writer access to both calendars" error. Oddly, this is for a recurring event which I already moved (e.g. from org_shared_calendarATgroupDOTcalendarDOTgoogleDOTcom to user_calendarATdomainDOTtld) and now I'm trying to move back to the original calendar.
