5 tips to get the most out of Google Calendar

1. Create your work schedule

This can be very useful for those who have a fixed schedule and want to have their working hours. In this way, alert anyone who wants to create an event with you outside of your working hours. To do so, you have to follow these steps:

1- Go to the setting of your calendar.

2- Access the section "Working hours"

3- Check the box "Activate working hours". Set business days and hours. If you do the same every day, click "Copy the schedule to all".

2. Share your calendar with your team members

Sometimes it is difficult to schedule a meeting with your team, since some of them may have flexible hours or have other meetings. One of the very useful tricks is share the calendar with them. In this way, as soon as you try to add a person to the event created in Calendar, all the appointments you have on your calendar. So you can check the availability of your team and find a gap in their calendars.

To do it:

  1. Click the space in which you want to create the meeting.
  2. Add the title, day and time.
  3. Add guests. As soon as you add one, your calendar will automatically appear.
  4. You can also click on "See guest availability" and check everyone's calendar.

On the other hand, you also have the option to directly see someone's calendar by adding their name in “Meet with”.

3. Create notifications on your desktop

Once you have created an event or meeting, the option to send can also be useful. notifications to your desktop, as reminder. To do so, go to "Edit event" and in "Event details" the option to "Add a notification" will appear. There, you can specify how long before you want it to arrive and if you want it to be a notification or an email message.

4. Access your video conference from Calendar

Google Calendar also gives you the option to access your video conferences through the app. If you have created an event, it will automatically generate a urls. In addition, if you have Hangouts Meet video conferencing hardware, you can centralize all meetings in the same calendar and, if 10 minutes go by and the video call has not started, the room will be released.

This is very useful, both for accessing easily to meetings without the need to use a computer and, above all, to maximize the use of meetings.
