Google-calendar – Received notification for hidden shared Google calendar

google-calendar

I have two Google accounts, a personal account and a work account. I shared the work calendar with my personal account, but the details are hidden (there's no way to make it not hidden).

At home, I use my personal account, but I want to receive work notifications. For some reason, I don't get notifications for hidden events. Since Google Calendar doesn't have a desktop app, the only official way to receive notifications on my computer is using the Chrome app. However, this means I need to have the work profile open at all times.

Is there a way to receive work notifications without have a Chrome window open for my work account?
