See a Shared Google Calendar on Windows Phone 8

Problem: you want to see shared calendar events on your Windows Phone 8 calendar. By default, when you add your google account to your phone it only syncs the “My calendars”; it won’t sync “Other calendars”, as in the case when your spouse shares his/her calendar with you.

Solution: Looking to sync multiple Google calendars to your phone? On your PC, go to Google Calendar sync select, sign in with your Google account, and then select which calendars you want to sync.

It took a little while for the changes to take effect clear through to my calendar app, and I’m not sure if I had to do anything like restart/exit-reload-app.
