Shared events not showing up on Google Calendar can often be resolved by checking a few settings. First, ensure the event was shared with the correct Google account. If it was, check the 'Other calendars' section in Google Calendar; you might need to manually add the calendar. Also, ensure the calendar synchronization setting is activated on your device if you're using a mobile app. For shared events in a workplace or group, verify that the administrator hasn't set restrictions on viewing or sharing events. Lastly, refresh your calendar or sign out and back into your account to resolve any temporary glitches.
