Manage your event notifications

You can change notification preferences for all your calendars, as well as for specific calendars you own.

Manage your time

Set out-of-office status

If you plan to be out of the office, update your calendar so co-workers know you’re away from work.

Schedule focus time

You can reduce distractions while you work by blocking out time in your calendar to let you focus on what you need to do.

Create appointment schedules

Turn blocks of time on your calendar into appointment schedules that others can book. Booked appointments appear on your calendar so you know who you're meeting and when.

Create Appointment Schedules with Google for Free

Schedule private or personal events

You can add personal (i.e. private) events to your work calendar where details aren't shown to other people. For example, schedule a doctor appointment and set the visibility of your event to Private. You'll see event details on your calendar, but for others the event shows only as "busy."

View how you spend time in meetings

If you use Google Calendar on a work or school account, you can use "Time Insights" to find out how you spend your time in meetings.

2. Schedule Events with Coworkers

Create an event

Pro tip: You can view guests' calendars side by side when you create an event, to find a time everyone is available!

Add a room reservation to your event

Attach an agenda

Calendar can create an agenda for you, or you can attach an existing agenda to your event.

Add video conferencing

Calendar can create a meeting link for you upon creation, or you can attach an existing conference link to your event.
