The iCloud.com calendar only shows your iCloud calendars. The apps on the devices will show any calendars from all accounts you have on that device.

really? that sucks...
Why would it function any other way? iCloud doesn’t have access to any of your other calendars.
I don't know 🤷 what's the reason to show all on m mobile device and not all on the icloud version...
Well, by that same token, when you login to Google calendar online, do you see your iCloud calendar? No. So why would you expect iCloud to do something different?
i got it...why is everbody so defensive about that, holy crap. I just think that it is inconvient, that you have different versions of the same feature and is also sucks on Google Calendar online...
I don’t think it’s defensiveness so much as it’s a response to your incredulity at something that’s common and consistent. Nothing works the way you describe for any service out there. When you go to Gmail, it doesn’t pull up your Yahoo email magically. When you pull up Facebook, it doesn’t pull in Twitter too. If you visit Office 365, it doesn’t pull up your Google Sheets or Numbers spreadsheets. When you pull up iCloud Drive, it doesn’t also pull up Dropbox and OneDrive despite the Files app showing them all on phones and computers.
It seems like people are shocked about you not knowing the difference between a service and a client app for that service. I’m not sure if that’s shocking but I responded the way I did because you made it seem like that should be the way it works and that it was obvious that it should work that way despite nothing else working that way. If you’d had an example of the behavior you’re describing, maybe the responses would be different.
when I pull up google mail in my browser it shows me my icloud mails, my work mails and my google mails...same for my mails in icloud...and I know back in the days that your tweets showed up in your facebook timeline too...
Sure you're somehow connected that services or forwarded the mails to it, but I also don't see the problem in making a copy of all your different appointments and mirror them in your icloud web calendar, so you don't have to integrate the other services in that.
sure updates would be dependent on usage of the native app on your phone or mac, but since you always use them anyway it would be a convincing solution. It would perfectly work as an overview of your calendar...
but like I said it's a little bit annoying but no dealbreaker since I always can look at my phone or watch (which actually also only mirrors everything on your phone...)...so I think we can settle the discussion here.
It’s the difference between the software and the service - your calendar on your phone is the software that receives the data from various calendar services. These don’t go to iCloud and then to your calendar app- they go straight to the app. So when you log in to your iCloud you only see the events for that service specifically
i get it, still find it very strange...
Me too. And inconvenient.
Can you access it just from going to Google calendars website?
its done now i exported all google appointments to my apple calendar and will ignore the ones from my job
One recommendation would be to do it the opposite way.
Google Cal plays well on iOS/Mac but iCloud calendar is finicky if you’re ever on anything non-Apple
I figured it out and using google is not an option anymore
