# Meet with External Calendars

### Viewing External Calendars in Smarty 🔄

Need to coordinate with someone else's schedule? In Smarty, it's simple to overlay external calendars that have been shared with you alongside your own.

Here's how you do it:

1. In the calendar view, click on the icon at the top right to open the **Calendar Sidebar**.
2. Choose **"Add External Calendar"** and find the contact(s) whose calendar you want to see
3. Smarty will let you know if you don't have access to the external calendar you requested by showing an \*

If you decide to create an event from this view, Smarty smartly adds all the visible calendar owners as attendees and sets up your preferred conferencing option.

You can also pair this with Smarty's scheduling **Slots** feature to spot the available slots that work for everyone. 

To declutter your view, just hit the "Esc" key, and all the external calendars will be cleared.
