ICS feed

A hosted ICS URL your calendar app checks repeatedly, so events stay current without re-importing.

An ICS feed (also called a calendar feed or subscribed calendar) is an ICS file served at a stable URL. Instead of importing it once, your calendar app subscribes to the URL and re-fetches it periodically, so changes made by the organizer appear automatically.

Feeds are read-only for subscribers: the publisher edits, everyone else stays in sync. This is how team schedules, school calendars, and shared family calendars stay current on every phone without anyone re-sending files.
