I'm able to add multiple g-calendars from multiple accounts, but it appears that only the root calendar is synced with Windows 8's Metro Calendar app. Is there a way to sync all gmail calendars?

From a question I asked:
Someone posted a working solution on Microsoft Answers:
Show advanced settings, Privacy > Content settings > Do not allow any site to run JavaScript)supportMultiCalendars=false to supportMultiCalendars=true

2Went through these steps and it didn't work. – James Mertz – 2012-09-04T13:34:40.757
1Strange, it works for me and at least 5 others. I wonder if the Google Calendar people caught on. – Louis – 2012-09-04T14:02:07.593
BTW, in between steps 6 and 7 you would have to select the extra calendars. – Louis – 2012-09-04T14:05:58.070
1I was able to select the different calendars, but they still don't show up on the calendar app. – James Mertz – 2012-09-04T18:10:49.510
3It took a little while, but it eventually worked! Great find. – James Mertz – 2012-09-05T16:48:17.220
1Strange, not working for me. I can see the other calendars on my Windows Phone but not on Windows 8. – mak – 2012-10-08T19:26:40.777
1Step 4 is not detailed enough for casual chrome users. I'd add some more detail to it, eg: Deactivate JavaScript in Settings (SELECT Chrome Menu on the Menu Bar, SELECT Settings..., CLICK Show advanced settings, (In the Privacy section) CLICK Content Settings..., (In the JavaScript section) SELECT Do not allow any site to run JavaScript. Also, It may not be obvious to the reader that this is a Chrome browser specific instruction set. – rivy – 2012-10-12T16:53:55.603
Works for me, done with Firefox – simPod – 2012-10-23T09:05:58.623
This is brilliant, worked perfectly for me! – Franz – 2012-11-03T20:28:24.927
The initial sync afterward is slow, but this does work just fine. – Zxaos – 2012-11-14T16:14:13.193
1Note that you don't have to delete and add your entire account again, you can just uncheck calendar sync, go to the main menu (so it saves), then check calendar sync again – TheLQ – 2012-12-03T15:54:39.060
It appears google has broken this somehow. I could only do this by going to m.google.com/sync on an iPhone and disabling javascript in Safari. Didn't work in Chrome or IE spoofing the user agent string – Omar Shahine – 2012-12-14T06:28:06.427

At the moment, this probably can't be achieved. This same Question has been asked on MS Support and they have replied with a no.
Question
Syncing Multiple Google calendars with New UI Calendar app
Answer
Currently per Google's request for bandwith, Calendar App only Sync root calendar.
Developers on both sides are working on this issue to improve accessibility on this.

You have multiple calendars in your Gmail calendar but only one of them syncs with the Calendar app and you want to know how to sync all the others calendars to the Calendar app. Please note that currently per Google's request for bandwidth, Calendar App will only Sync root calendar.

Easiest fix is just to import each Google Calendar into a hotmail account. Then when you add this account to the Windows 8 Calendar app not only do they all appear, but they are still organized by color.

3If the Google Calendar is modified are the changes reflected by the Hotmail account? – Louis – 2012-11-02T06:36:33.553

This seems to have changed again:

That url gives me Not Found
Error 404 – Omar Shahine – 2012-12-14T06:28:40.500
@OmarShahine - Which url exactly. They all worked for me. – Ramhound – 2013-01-24T13:06:13.787
It might not be possible. You could try adding the other calendars on a single calendar, that should depending on the share settings of the other calendars, do what you want. – Ramhound – 2012-08-21T16:28:01.237
