As we move closer to transitioning fully into Gmail and Google Workspace, it’s important to begin rebuilding your schedule in Google Calendar.
Calendar events created in Outlook will not transfer to your new Google Calendar. If you have recurring meetings, appointments, or reminders in Outlook, these will need to be re-created manually in Google Calendar.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
All meeting invitations and room bookings will need to be created in Google Calendar.
Google Calendar allows you to invite guests, attach documents, and book rooms all within one event.
You can adjust your calendar sharing settings so others only see your availability without the event details, if preferred.
Using the “Find a time” feature when creating events can help you quickly identify availability for multiple participants.
Taking time to set up your calendar will ensure a smoother transition later this summer. Additional tips and support for using Google Calendar can be found on our support site.
