Here are two things you might not know about Google Calendar

Here are two things you might not know about Google Calendar:You can create “Appointment Schedules” (formerly “Appointment Slots”) for others to book time with you, even with a personal Google account. This feature allows you to set up customizable blocks of time on your calendar that people can then book directly through a shared booking page. It’s similar to services like Calendly, letting you define your availability, set buffer times, and even create a custom booking form. This is incredibly useful for scheduling client meetings, office hours, or any situation where you want people to self-book time on your calendar without back-and-forth emails.Google Calendar has “Labs” features, which are experimental features you can enable. While some Labs features have been integrated into the main product, others offer unique functionalities. Examples of past or current Labs features include:World Clock: Displays the current time in different locations around the world, making it easier to schedule international meetings.Hide morning and night: Allows you to hide the hours outside of your typical working day to reduce clutter on your calendar view.Next Meeting: A countdown to your next event, helping you stay on top of your schedule.Year View: Provides a comprehensive view of your entire year at a glance, which can be great for long-term planning.To access these (if available), you usually go to your Google Calendar settings and look for a “Labs” or “General” section where you can enable or disable these experimental features. Some of these features may be available directly in the settings without a dedicated “Labs” section anymore, as Google integrates them over time.
