Google Calendar’s “Find a Time” Feature

You may quickly organise big group meetings using Google Calendar’s Find a Time feature.

To access Google Calendar, choose it from your Google Program Drawer when using any other Google app, such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Alternatively, you can access it by going to calendar.google.com.

The steps listed below describe how to quickly and simply organise a meeting with a number of coworkers that use Google Calendar:

You can utilise the “Find a time” function to book an event at a time that works for everyone if the other guests have shared their calendar with you.
Up to 20 schedules can be compared at once.

Note: Both the Google Calendar app for Android and the computer both include the Find a time feature.

  1. Open Google Calendar.
  2. Open a previously closed event or create a new one (you may need to click Edit event first).
  3. Choose the “Find a time” tab. You will be able to see the schedules of the other visitors if their calendars are shared with you.
  4. Choose a time that fits in with the schedules of all your visitors. To switch between days, use the arrows at the top of the page.
  5. Click the time in the calendar grid once you’ve located it. At the top of the page, the time will update.
  6. Choose Save.

Note: Only those who organised the event themselves or those who were given permission to make changes by the event organiser are permitted to alter it.

All-day events: The calendar grid’s top row displays all-day activities. Unless their event is selected to show as Busy, a visitor with an all-day event will appear accessible in the “Find a time” page. Click the Week button, then click the space at the top of a day column to plan an all-day event.
