Creating Events & Appointments in Google Calendar

Google Calendar is a powerful tool for keeping organized and on task all within the Google platform we use here in WPS. This post is about creating an Event as well as an Appointment Calendar in your Google Calendar.

Creating an Event

Almost all of you have created or responded to an Event in Google Calendar so many of you know the power that exists in adding a Google Meet link to a Google Calendar Event, especially when you invite people to the Event. This video will walk you through how to do that.

Appointment Calendar

Creating and managing an Appointment Calendar in Google may sound difficult and time consuming but I think you will find it can be useful and worth exploring. It is important to note that the Appointment Calendar only displays appointments you are creating. It does not display other Events you have created.

When you create an Appointment Calendar you are giving others the options of choosing from available times to schedule an appointment with you, such as for conferences. You then have the ability to add a Google Meet link directly to the appointment that you and the other person can use to connect. This video will walk you through all of those steps.
