Events and the calendar
See collabs, tournaments, events and anniversaries on one screen, mark whether you are going, and pull it all into your own calendar app.
What lands on one screen
The calendar gathers the events channels have added into a single view. Streams, collabs, tournaments, events, anniversaries and notices all sit on the same grid. Every time is written in Korea Standard Time (KST).
- There are three views — month, week and list. Narrow screens open the list, wide screens open the month grid
- You can filter by several event types at once, and events that carry a category can be narrowed by that too
- The month, view and filters you are looking at are all kept in the address. Send the link and the other person sees the same screen
- All — everything published to the shared cigt calendar
- Following — events from channels you follow. This is where the calendar starts
- I'm going — only the events you have marked
Following and I'm going need you to be signed in. Open them signed out and the page says so and offers a way back to All.
Event details and your RSVP
Opening an event shows a page laid out like an invitation: the date, weekday and time, the hosting channel, the place, the related link and the description, with comments underneath.
- Your RSVP is one of Going, Maybe, or Can't go, and you can change it at any time
- The guest count and faces are public, but which answer you picked is only shown to you
- You need to be signed in to RSVP
Events that repeat yearly or weekly have a separate address per occurrence, so the page opens on the date of the one you clicked. If a real broadcast happened near the scheduled time, the actual start and end, how long it ran, and any replays or clips are shown there too.
Once you RSVP, you are told when that event's time changes or it is cancelled. That notice goes only to people who RSVP'd, not to every follower of the channel.
Anniversaries in one place
Anniversaries also have their own page, sorted by what comes next. It covers the year ahead, groups them by month and shows how many days are left. You get there from the anniversary card on the calendar.
- Only anniversaries a channel added itself appear — nothing is generated for you from things like the day a channel opened
- There is a separate subscription address that carries anniversaries only
Group weekly schedule
This is one week across several channels in a single table: channels down the side, the seven weekdays across the top. Which channels you are looking at is carried in the address, and the same table is built into a group's own page, so opening it there already has that group's members in the rows.
- The week starts on Monday (Korea Standard Time)
- An empty cell means nothing has been added. It does not mean the channel is taking the day off
- There is a limit on how many channels one table can hold, and the page tells you when you have asked for more
The table only collects what each channel owner added to their own calendar. You cannot fill in someone else's row — every event is created by that channel's owner on their own channel.
Adding an event sends an evening reminder to that channel's followers the day before, and drops it into the calendar app of everyone subscribed. A notice that has gone out, and an event already sitting in someone else's calendar, cannot be taken back.
Taking it into your own calendar
From an event page you can add that single event to Google Calendar or download it as a file. To keep receiving events as they are added, use a subscription address instead — your calendar app re-reads it periodically and fills in what is new.
- The public subscription address carries whichever type and category filters you have on right now. It only holds what is published to the shared calendar — the Following and I'm going ranges are not included
- Signed in, you can also create a personal subscription address. There are two of them — your own events (the ones you marked Going, plus your channel's) and the channels you follow — and they share one key
- A personal address has an expiry date and stops working once it passes. Issue a new one when that happens
A personal subscription address is itself the key. Anyone who has it can read your events and the channels you follow, so do not hand it around. Issuing a new one cuts off every address you shared before, immediately and permanently.
Common questions
When do event notifications arrive?
Events from channels you follow are announced shortly before they start, and events you RSVP'd to — or whose host you follow — get one more reminder the evening before. There is a cap on how many event notifications a single channel can send in a day, so a channel with a full calendar does not flood you. You can switch each kind off in your notification settings.
How is “Can't go” different from not answering?
Before you answer, no button is pressed. Choosing “Can't go” clears your RSVP, so you drop out of the guest count and stop receiving that event's time-change and cancellation notices.
A new event has not shown up in my subscribed calendar.
Your calendar app re-reads the subscription address on its own schedule, so there is a delay, and the app decides how often it checks. When you need it now, adding that one event from its page is faster.
An event is on the channel page but not on the shared calendar.
Events go on the channel's own calendar by default; publishing to the shared calendar is a separate choice the channel makes. Broadcast schedules and weekly repeating events cannot go on the shared calendar at all. There is also a limit on how many a channel can have there at once, and that limit grows as the channel's boost level rises.
