Google Calendar Appointment Slots
- Justin Aakre
Summary
Google Calendar has the capability to create appointment slots. This functionality is great to indicate that you are available to meet with others at a specific time while reducing the risk of having multiple people try to meet with you at the same time. Google Hangouts Meet would allow an appointment to be remote.
Details
To create appointment slots on your Google Calendar:
- Create a new event on your calendar.
- Change the event type to appointment slots.
- Set the time parameters for when you will be available.
- Optionally set this to repeat for weekly office hours, etc.
- Share the appointment slot page by adding guests to select slots.
To incorporate Google Hangouts Meet into the appointment, a meeting will need to be created outside of Google Calendar. The link to that meeting can then be posted in the appointment slot details.
To sign up for an appointment slot, open the Google Calendar invite sent from the host. The calendar will open to the present day; navigation to a different day, week, or month may be necessary to sign up for an appointment slot. Claim an appointment slot. By default, claiming an appointment slot will notify the host.
