Hi Mr DOTTO. I am from west Africa. My life is being so good by following you on this channel. Good teacher.

OH MY GOD! Followed you for years, Steve! So awesome and honored to my stuff on your video...was wondering where all those subscribers came from this month!!! I have the biggest smile right now!

Steve... Let me start by saying thank you. I am a 50something that has started a KZread channel 7 months ago and it has been growing slowly. But I found you 2 days ago (when watching Shawn's channel) and have been binge watching since. Thank you for your amazing content. Especially the planning advice. Again... Thank you

Thanks for the tip on how to switch between the different calendar views. Pushing a number on the keyboard is sure a lot faster than using the mouse to change the view.

I love Google calendar due in part to your past tutorials. This video is no exception! The Find a Time, Attachment and switch view info were all things I could have found on my own. But it sure is great to have it presented in a clean and entertaining way! Keep storming the castle, I appreciate it!

I use Google Calendar to schedule tasks for gym workout sessions (gym programming). Then when I'm at the gym I'm able to call up the task for the day (the plan) on my phone using the Google Tasks Android app and then record the actual results of the gym workout in real time (eg record actual weights, sets and reps), including notes of how the session went etc. When I get home I can easy visualize the "plan" across the entire month(s) and mark tasks "complete" as they are done. It's a great visual aid.

Hi Steve, you are definitely my go to guy for all things tech. I have learned so much, thank you again. Regards from Israel

Good Google Calendar training. It may seem simple to some, but to many it may overwhelm them. Thanks to Steve Dotto, anyone can learn.

Great video, as usual, Steve. Thanks. One thing I've used, when creating a quick appointment, when you enter the appointment name, you can follow it with the time and you don't have to scroll through the times and pick one. For instance, type Dentist at 1130 works fine. You don't even need the colon.

Yep, used all of them . Scheduled view lives on my mobile. I also use Calendar to schedule my tasks. The most important ones I color read. When I’m done with them I change the color to green. What I like about adding a reminder in Calendar, is that will shift to the next day automatically until you say it’s done.

Great video. I always learn something from your videos. Especially like your videos on google photos.

Great. Thanks very informative as usual.

I'm a foster parent and I have to write daily notes on kids in my home. Hello, Google Calendar. I create a calendar for each child. Then I create a baseline note each month ("youth is an amicable child that gets along with peers..."). I set the parameters for it to repeat for the entire month (this step is done on my desktop computer). Then I add specialized notes each day.... Dr appointment, visits, special events,etc. It's great to use the talk to text for a lengthy note. At the end of the week, I print from the "schedule" screen and turn it in. Voila. My notes are done. (Man, was it a lifesaver when I had five kids in the home at one time!) Best of all? If they ever say I didn't turn in notes for a given time (literally happened last month) I just go in and resend them. I look very organized and on my game. (Confession....it's an illusion. Lol)

Hello, Thank you for the Google Calendar need to know. Question do you have a suggestion for a quicker way to set up google calendar for creating a shift work schedule for the year?

Great tips

Great Stuff, I use much of what you described, but I have not used the sharing feature very much. I have and I do use the Google Maps feature. You can follow those directions to someplace unfamiliar, as well. It works in other countries, too. Nicely done. Your presentation is very smooth and watchable. Nicely done.

Hi Steve. One of the coolest feature I use is in Calendar Settings you can set one or multiple default alarms. I use 49 and 20 mins alarms. So when you create a new event it will automatically put it in. One big miss is that there is still no Dark Mode for it on Chrome or iOS.

Awesome thx

I would like it if you could teach me more about the computer. I am glad I came across your video. I am not in a business, but the things you said and showed are very interesting.

You missed the one feature I use daily; Duplicating. In the drop-down nenu is a click for duplicating an event. Duplicating a repeating event such as a dr appoint or in our case, regular customer visits, lets us take all the information in the description box to the next appointment, and leave the current appoint in the calendar for future reference. We regularly schedule our customers out 4-6-and 8 weeks in advance. so duplicating the event lets us see when they were there last, and most importantly carries any notes in the description box. I do this far Dr appoints my regular INR check etc; that way Dr info is always in the event. and I can look to see when I was there last if needed. For us, that is a main killer feature we use daily.

Thank you for this video!! I do have a question for you. How are you able to get the gray backing for the text blocks in the more options area? That looks very clean and easier to read. Going to be watching the rest of what you have on here. Thank you again!!!

The description field is the first field to go to when creating an event. Copy text to clipboard from email or wherever, then paste it into that description field. When you enter the information into the other fields you can check that you have entered it correctly.

Hey there! How are you so doing the screen share? Pretty cool! I like how you can switch between whole screen and the little circle w/ your desktop! Cool!

I use Google Calendar for the many websites I do for organizations. If they have a routine meeting (say every Wednesday) and it needs to be moved to Thursday, I simply move 1 of the events. It asks, "Do you want to just move one or all of them?" I choose "All" and in seconds the job is done! I can also link to flyers and other documents the reader might need. You do have to be sure these items are posted online first, but it will eventually work. My only regret about Google Calendar? I regret that I didn't start using it sooner.

Hey Steve, Thanks another great Video..! I Love the Create Event Option when you are reading an email from the options Menu across the top of the EMail..on my Laptop/MAC Mini . etc..! BUT.. I can't seem to find the same "menu" when I'm on my iPhone using the Web or APP Version..? Do you know where I can find it..? or does it just not exist on the Mobile Version.? Cheers, Sean.

Nice tips, many I already use. Be cautious using file attachments. I've found these attachments stay attached long after the event is over, consuming a portion of your total available memory. Easily overlooked. I much prefer using shared resources from Google Drive or simply use file links to files shared elsewhere on the cloud. Of course, security protocols may be needed for sensitive data. A cast on Google Drive / Email / Photos memory management would be nice, especially for those who have only the basic plan.

@@MarkHartmanRealtor Waze has access to Google Calender and will show the appointment in the destinations folder. You can either make it a planned ride with your own destination time or it will send a notification 1 hour ahead and 10 minutes before departure (so you can plan your way to the car). Intervention and background running is mostly not necessary. When launching Waze it will automatically select your appointment as destination. Sometimes the adress may be unclear, then it will ask for clarification.

Not a biggy but, I use Google Calendar for my Dr appointments and after my appointment is over and I'm at the desk making my next appointment I pull up that day's appointment and edit it for my next appointment by changing the date and time all the rest of the information stays. What this does is it erases the appointment and moves it to the new date's position.

@cobylax33

That is because you are just writing over the existing appointment. What you can do is "duplicate" the appointment. From web view, click on the event, hit the three dots and select "Duplicate". It will bring up the new duplicated event in the editor, so all you have to do is change the date and save. That way you have your old appointment saved for reference AND your new appointment (without having to manually transfer over all the details).

I wish the mobile version had all these features, its really lacking.

How can I make a task to depend on a previous one?
