Copy talks to your own calendar
===============================

You can put the details of any talk into your Nexus, Google or iCloud calendar. How this works depends on the browser and calendar you are using; we've covered some of the standard combinations here. The following steps will work for either a single talk or a series of talks.

.. Note:: Using this method, if the talk information changes in any way, the information in your own calendar **won't update automatically**. You should always check Oxford Talks to make sure that the time or location hasn't changed since you added the talk to your calendar.

Find the Add to Calendar link
-----------------------------

:alt: Find the Add to Calendar link
:height: 222px
:width: 593px
:align: center


* For a single talk, click on the **calendar icon** next to any talk

.. image:: images/add-to-your-calendar/306f6c30-18aa-46b9-b32c-a4a1703b6d55.png
:alt:
:height: 195px
:width: 614px
:align: center


* For a series of talks, use the **Add to your calendar** button

The next steps depend on which combination of browser and calendar you are using:

Using Internet Explorer and Outlook (PC)
----------------------------------------

:height: 168px
:width: 802px
:align: center


* Clicking the calendar icon in Internet Explorer will open a window at the bottom of your browser
* Click **Open**

:alt:
:height: 379px
:width: 600px
:align: center


* The talk details open as an Outlook calendar item
* Click **Save & Close** to add the talk to your calendar

Using Safari and Calendar (Mac)
-------------------------------

:height: 308px
:width: 614px
:align: center


* Clicking the calendar icon in Safari should open the Calendar app automatically
* You will be asked where you want to save your event - this can be your main Nexus calendar if you want
* If you choose to add the talk to your Nexus calendar, you may get this message

:alt:
:height: 290px
:width: 567px
:align: center


* Click OK and don't worry, this just refers to the link back to the original talk. It will be copied over to the event notes and will be clearly visible
* Your talk(s) will be added to your chosen calendar

Using Chrome and Google Calendar
--------------------------------

* Clicking on the calendar icon in Chrome will download a file to your computer - you can usually see this at the bottom of your browser.
* The filename will be a list of numbers, letters and dashes ending in '.ics' e.g: 7545e0bc-b53c-4114-b3b7-fba953a08f74.ics

#. Browse for the file you've just downloaded
#. Choose the calendar you want to import the file into
#. Click import to add your talk(s) to your chosen calendar

Set up email reminders
======================

Reminders and notifications by email are scheduled for the next phase of development. Meanwhile, there are a few limited options to set up email reminders using your own calendar.

* Click on the drop down list next to the calendar created by the feed
* Choose **Edit notifications**

* To find talks in a particular subject area use the **Search** box to type your search term
