Why this works
Skylight supports subscription-style calendar sync. gmCalSync provides a private GroupMe calendar feed URL, which Skylight can poll through its sync flow. That keeps GroupMe plans visible on the home calendar display without anyone retyping them.
If events are slow to show
Skylight refreshes subscribed calendars on its own cycle, so a new GroupMe event lands on the display after the next poll rather than instantly. More on subscription refresh timing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get GroupMe events onto a Skylight Calendar?
Create a private calendar URL for the GroupMe group in gmCalSync, then in the Skylight app open My Skylight → Sync Calendars → Sync new calendar, choose TeamSnap, and paste the URL.
Why do I pick TeamSnap in Skylight?
TeamSnap is the Skylight sync option that accepts a plain calendar subscription URL. gmCalSync produces that same kind of URL, so it is the path that works for a GroupMe feed.
Do I have to re-enter GroupMe events on Skylight?
No. Skylight subscribes to the feed, so events added or edited in GroupMe flow through on Skylight's refresh cycle without retyping.
Can different GroupMe groups appear as separate Skylight calendars?
Yes. gmCalSync creates a separate URL per group, so you can sync each one and keep team, school, and family schedules distinct.
