Find a time
See guests' free and busy time and get suggested slots that fit everyone's working hours.
See when your guests are free and get suggestions for a time that suits everyone.
Before you start: add at least one teammate under Guests. The Find a time section only appears when a teammate is invited.
Steps
- In the event dialog, add teammates under Guests.
- Open Find a time.
- Each guest has a strip from 07:00 to 21:00 (on your clock) for the day of the event. Grey blocks are busy. An outlined box shows your proposed time.
- Click Suggest times this week. Up to 8 free slots appear.
- Click a slot to set the event to that time.
Reading it
- Under a guest's name you may see their own local time for your slot, for example "11:30 PM in Singapore".
- If you cannot see a guest's calendar, the strip says "Calendar not shared with you". They are never shown as free.
- A suggestion tagged Outside hours for is inside working hours for the organizer but not for that person.
- With nothing found: "No free time this week inside everyone's working hours."
How suggestions are chosen
- The first pass looks for time inside everyone's working hours, each on their own clock. If there is none, a second pass uses the organizer's hours and tags who it is outside hours for.
- Busy time comes from each person's calendars and invitations they accepted.
Limits
Free/busy covers at most 62 days and 50 people at a time. Meeting length is 5 to 480 minutes.
