Calendar veterans can probably skip this section, but there&#8217;s nothing wrong with brushing up on the essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Click or tap the multicolored <strong>+<\/strong> sign to create an event. In Chrome, another option is to <strong>click any time slot<\/strong> to create a default 1-hour event starting at that time or tap directly below the date (right above 12 a.m.) to start an all-day event. With the app, you can do the same by <strong>tapping a particular time slot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll see many customization options for your event \u2014 more if you <strong>swipe up<\/strong> in-app or click <strong>More options<\/strong> next to the Save button. For example, you can set the event to <strong>repeat<\/strong> at intervals; determine how many <strong>notifications<\/strong> arrive before the event in either alert or email form; decide whether the event means you&#8217;re <strong>busy<\/strong> or can still be contacted; or (most importantly) <strong>change which calendar<\/strong> to which this event will be added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-event-screenshot.jpg\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-event-screenshot-2.jpg\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-event-screenshot-3.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, you&#8217;ll add your Gmail contacts to the event. In Chrome, inviting someone will make &#8220;busy&#8221; periods from Gmail appear on your calendar, so you know if there&#8217;s a time conflict; in Android\/ iOS, you&#8217;ll have to tap <strong>View Schedules<\/strong> to double-check. Once you&#8217;ve settled on a time, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/how-schedule-google-meet-meeting-google-calendar\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">schedule a Google Meet meeting in Google Calendar<\/a> or add a physical meeting room as the location.<\/p>\n<p>Google recently added the option to let you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/google-calendar-now-allows-you-specify-whether-youll-attend-meeting-person\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">RSVP either remotely or in-person<\/a>, so when people accept the invites, you&#8217;ll see how many plan to actually turn up or log in from home.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve added someone, <strong>tap the person icon<\/strong> next to their name to make the invite optional. You can modify guests&#8217; permissions, deciding if they can <strong>modify the event time<\/strong>, <strong>invite others<\/strong>, or <strong>see the guest list<\/strong>.

There are also many obscure tools that won&#8217;t matter to most people, so we&#8217;ve cut through the clutter to point out the Google Calendar settings you&#8217;ll get real use out of.<\/p>\n<p>(Note: to find your Settings, click the <strong>Gear icon<\/strong> on your computer or the <strong>Sandwich icon &gt; Settings<\/strong> on mobile. Some of the Settings below are <em>only<\/em> available in browser settings or app settings).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Change the <strong>default event duration<\/strong> from 60 minutes to as little as 15 or as high as 120. You can set different durations for different Gmail accounts; I personally use 30 minutes as my work email default and 120 for personal.<\/li>\n<li>View options: Instead of the default day\/week\/month view, you can customize the <strong>default number of visible days<\/strong>; set Custom View to as little as 2 days or as high as 4 weeks. I also like to <strong>reduce the brightness of past events<\/strong> so I can see at a glance in Week View which events I still must attend. And I set my Week View to start on Monday instead of Sunday. Those are the kinds of customizations you can make.<\/li>\n<li>Enable <strong>working hours<\/strong>: Set some work-life boundaries and &#8220;warn people if they try to invite you to a meeting&#8221; outside of when you&#8217;re officially on the clock. You can set specific work hours for each day of the week.<\/li>\n<li>Change your &#8220;Snooze&#8221; settings: you can now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/how-snooze-google-calendar-notifications-chrome-browser\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">snooze Google Calendar notifications from the Chrome browser<\/a>, so they&#8217;ll reappear closer to the actual event. That linked guide takes you through the steps to enable Calendar notifications; assuming yours are already enabled, go to <strong>Settings &gt; Notification Settings &gt; Show Snoozed Notifications<\/strong>, and you can make them appear anywhere from 0 to 5 minutes before the event starts.<\/li>\n<li>(mobile only) Your <strong>Theme<\/strong> will match your phone&#8217;s global Theme of Light or Dark, but you can permanently make it one or the other regardless of global settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"subscribe\">Tip 3: <em>Subscribe to a new calendar<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large_wm_brb\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-share-calendar.jpeg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maybe you want to add your calendar from another Gmail account, or you and your partner want to share calendars to know when you have conflicting Meet events. Or maybe you just want to add the start times for your favorite sports team! Regardless, it&#8217;s pretty easy to add someone else&#8217;s calendar to yours.<\/p>\n<p>On Android, you only can accept a Google calendar invite shared with you. Tap the <strong>Add this calendar<\/strong> link in your email; it&#8217;ll take you to the app, where you can select <strong>Yes<\/strong> to add it to your list of calendars. Then you can find that calendar by tapping the <strong>Sandwich menu<\/strong> and scrolling down to it; you can uncheck it if you no longer want to see it.<\/p>\n<p>As for proactively requesting someone&#8217;s calendar, open Google Calendar on your computer and go to the Settings. On the left-hand menu, open the <strong>Add calendar<\/strong> menu and choose <strong>Subscribe to calendar<\/strong>. Insert the relevant person&#8217;s email; you&#8217;ll see a message &#8220;You don&#8217;t have access to X@gmail.com&#8217;s calendar.&#8221; Add an optional message, then click <strong>Request access<\/strong>. That person will then have to approve your request through Gmail.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-import-new_calendar.jpeg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you want to add a sports team&#8217;s schedule or holidays from a different country than your current home, select <strong>Add calendar &gt; Browse calendars of interest<\/strong>; you&#8217;ll find a variety of pro and amateur teams, plus holidays related to specific countries or religions. And again, if your calendar gets crowded with sporting events, you can always uncheck them, so they aren&#8217;t visible while still receiving reminder notifications for them.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, your work organization may have a unique URL for its calendars. Copy that URL, go to <strong>Add calendar &gt; From URL<\/strong>, and paste it there.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"agenda\">Tip 4: <em>Email yourself a daily agenda<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-agenda-view.jpeg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Accessing Google Calendar from Gmail is super easy. Android users can tap the <strong>Sandwich icon<\/strong> and scroll down to Calendar in the <strong>Google Apps<\/strong> section \u2014 or just open the Calendar app \u2014 while computer users can click the Calendar icon on the right, then hit the <strong>Open in New Tab<\/strong> icon. But sometimes, it&#8217;s nice to get all of your daily itinerary in a single, easy-to-scroll email without having to open both Gmail <em>and<\/em> Calendar.<\/p>\n<p>In the Google Calendar web version, open Settings; in the left-hand column under General, you&#8217;ll see <strong>Settings for my calendars<\/strong>. Next, click the calendar you want an itinerary from and scroll down to <strong>Other Notifications<\/strong>. The last option will be <strong>Daily Agenda<\/strong>, so click the drop-down menu next to it and change the option to <strong>Email<\/strong>. Presto, you&#8217;ll get a daily summary of that calendar&#8217;s events, uncluttered by the <em>other<\/em> events from your other calendars.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"shortcuts\">Tip 5: <em>Keyboard shortcuts<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll mostly type inside of fields in Google Calendar, adding event names or inviting people. But what happens when you hit your keys outside of event pages? You&#8217;ll trigger some surprisingly useful shortcuts!<\/p>\n<p>Below, we&#8217;ll break down our favorite Google Calendar keyboard shortcuts. Most Calendar shortcuts work with just the letter \u2014 no \u2318 or Cntl required \u2014 and they&#8217;re pretty easy to memorize. If you want the full list, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/a\/users\/answer\/9298571?hl=en\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">Google Support<\/a> list here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create an event: <strong>c<\/strong> (short for create)<\/li>\n<li>See full event details: <strong>e<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Remove an event: select an event and hit <strong>Delete<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Undo last action: <strong>z<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Change the view: Hit <strong>1<\/strong> or <strong>d<\/strong> for <strong>Day View<\/strong>, <strong>2<\/strong> or <strong>w<\/strong> for <strong>Week View<\/strong>, <strong>3<\/strong> or <strong>m<\/strong> for <strong>Month View<\/strong>, <strong>5<\/strong> or <strong>a<\/strong> for <strong>Agenda view<\/strong>, or <strong>x<\/strong> for <strong>Default view<\/strong>. The letter shortcuts are easiest, as they abbreviate the duration of time.<\/li>\n<li>Move to the current day: <strong>t<\/strong> (short for today).<\/li>\n<li>Jump to the next date range: <strong>j<\/strong> (jump) or <strong>n<\/strong> (next). For instance, if you&#8217;re in Week View, you&#8217;ll jump to the next week.<\/li>\n<li>Open Settings: <strong>s<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Go to specific date&#8221; menu: <strong>g<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These shortcuts make it faster to find information or create an event with just a single tap, and once you know of them, the letter choices for shortcuts are pretty intuitive.

For instance, <strong>TeamCal<\/strong> converts all of your separate calendars into a single timeline view (see above), making it easier to see which event applies to a particular calendar. Some extensions let you send your <strong>calendar notifications as text messages<\/strong> if the regular notifications aren&#8217;t grabbing your attention. <strong>Button for Google Calendar<\/strong> lets you see a summary of upcoming events as a drop-down menu without leaving your tab \u2014 with visible, clickable meeting links.<\/p>\n<p>There are too many extensions to mention here, so go to the Google Workspace Marketplace or Chrome Web Store and see what&#8217;s available for yourself.

And as mentioned above, you can go into Settings &gt; General and change the Theme to Light or Dark.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large_wm_brw\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-custom-colors.jpeg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With Calendar for Chrome, you have more color customization options. In the left-hand column, hover over a calendar name and click the <strong>vertical ellipsis<\/strong> for more options. Not only can you change the color to any of the 24 options, but you can also insert a <strong>custom Hex code<\/strong> or select a color from a gradient by pressing the <strong>+<\/strong> button. Or, to make an individual event stand out from the pack, <strong>right-click<\/strong> an event to change its color in isolation.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, Calendar&#8217;s overall look can&#8217;t change too much from how Google designed it. You can go to <strong>Settings &gt; Density and color<\/strong> to change the text color to black or make the Calendar cells more compact. However, I don&#8217;t recommend the first option, as black text on color is less accessible and generally harder to read. True customization relies on extensions or add-ons.<\/p>\n<h2>Any other tips?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/8-best-google-calendar-tips-hacks-and-tricks-you-need-know\" title=\"8 best Google Calendar tips, hacks, and tricks you need to know\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large_wm_blw\/public\/article_images\/2021\/08\/google-calendar-apps.jpeg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How do you make Google Calendar work better for you?
