Finished
That's all. Afterward you should see the other's calendar and events in a different color in your own calendar in the "Other calendars" list (below "My calendars"). There you can also choose a color for this calendar by clicking the button with the triangle to the right of the calendar's name. So you don't have to use the same color that the other person uses for his/her calendar.By clicking a calendar's name under "My calendars" or "Other calendars", you can toggle it between "visible" and "invisible" e.g. if you don't want to see the other's calendar all the time. This visibility setting is also used/downloaded by CalenGoo during the sync, please see Visibility/Download.
Using CalenGoo
When using CalenGoo, it will automatically detect and use all your personal and shared calendars (except Google Sports calendars). And it will use the colors you have configured in Google Calendar, so there is nothing special necessary to use these shared calendars with CalenGoo. Please see the Installation instructions.Same account
Instead of using shared calendars, you could just sync all devices with the same Google Calendar account. Then they will certainly also use the same reminders.
Change notifications
You can configure Google Calendar to send you an email whenever something changes in one of your shared calendars. Please see Change notifications
Default reminders
You can configure default reminders in Google Calendar that are used for all events in that calendar. Please see default reminders.
And in CalenGoo you can use "Automatic reminders", which are also used for all events of a calendar. Please see "Automatic reminders" here: Reminders
