How to Use Google Calendar Effectively | Full Tutorial

[@charlestaylor378]

I was forced to learn about Google Calendar because I needed a way to organize appointments with my clients. It was frustrating trying to find a You Tube tutorial that didn't make me dizzy with confusing content. Out of all of the available tutorials, this video was not only comprehensive, but it was also designed for people having little-to-no background in Google Calendar. Thank you, Anson. I intend to turn to you for all things Google from now on!!!!

[@ShakifAhmed-d4c]

Great ❤

[@maryellenreese8847]

This was the most comprehensive and clear instruction for Google Calendar that I found. Job finished, thanks to you!

[@AnsonAlexander]

Awesome, that's great to hear! I love getting comments like this. I'm glad it was helpful and good luck in Google Calendar!

[@michaelslifecycle]

Thank you for actually being a real person and not some robot voice

[@ChrisTownsend-j6k]

Great tutorial of the google calendar! I have learned most of this over the last 5 years on my own but was struggling with how to share my calendar with other team members. After watching this video I was able to succeed in sharing my calendar. One thing I would add if you are searching for an event in the search bar and your event has a address entered you can search that event by the address. This is very helpful when searching for events when you have a calendar that you have had for years and are trying to find something from the past. Thanks for making this video Anson!

Anson Alexander is a tech genius. He teaches in a way that even a blind man would grasp. Thank you for the Google Calendar.

[@masqueradinglampshade4369]

The UI/UX for Google Calendar is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. So intuitive and sleek while being optionally robust and technical. The event creation dialog starts off being minimalist and lightweight and quickly becomes verbose if it's needed. When I began using it (it's my first digital organizer tool), I felt I mastered it within an hour of tinkering, meaning someone could become a power user gradually over a short time span just by regularly using the app. It's remarkably powerful while maintaining a sleek exterior.

[@miliniumo147]

Thanks for this. I'm now using it to keep track of my assignments, general schedule, and other events

[@ryeashapowell6612]

Hey, i want to thank you for making this video; I appreciate people like you so so so much who go out of their way to make these videos.

[@karenfredericks8474]

Thanks for the terrific video. Do you recommend using Google Calendar for a to-do list?And if so, do you have any tutorials for that? Ow, what would you recommend for creating to do lists?

[@droopy_911]

Crisp, simple, informative

[@FelipeToroCayul]

Thank you!

[@AnsonAlexander]

You're welcome!

[@MyKrabi]

OMG why did I not know about the 'schedule' feature 😪😪😪😭😭😭 ... thanks for the good advice

[@AnsonAlexander]

Haha, you're welcome, it's definitely a great calendar view!

[@bobpineo3708]

Thank you Anson for the great tutorial. Can you tell me how to reorganize the calendar list? I want to prioritize how my staff calendars show up on the list, and in calendar view...

[@CaroleButler-b5x]

Thank you. This has been so useful!

[@AnsonAlexander]

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@VeeBee81]

Thanks Anson! I set up my Calendar in conjunction with your instructions. Yay!! The one thing I'm concerned about is that my colleagues don't all have gmail accounts. Before clicking on your page, I also have had trouble sharing the Calendar with them? There isn't a SEND button on that category either?

[@yt.grahame.martin]

Thank you Anson Alexander Calendar!

[@lindap361]

Thank u. At last an easy and clear way of using Google Calendar. My question: on iphone to begin can we just click on icon on homepage or must we still have go into the Google calendar

[@AnsonAlexander]

You're welcome, glad to hear it was helpful. As for using GCal on iPhone, I just use the Google Calendar app which you can download from the app store. I believe you can also setup a homescreen widget with the GCal app to have your calendar right on your homescreen. Hopefully that helps answer your question.

[@sixsigmamasterclass5934]

Quick and easy!! pls help with tasks also..

[@owenjonathan4394]

Fantastic and helped with my OCD. Is there a 'To do list' option or similar in Google Calendar that resembles a notepad from which I can take and add to the actual tasks within the scheduled calendar?

[@karlgrabowski5736]

GREAT INFORMATION is there any way to not print background color on events.

[@deborahabarnett7208]

thanks - great review of the options. How do i get rid of old calendars and start fresh?

[@kennethstephani692]

Great video!

[@user-ve8jx3en2r]

hello Anson and thank you for the tips and tricks! One question as I am looking to create an appointment calendar for a friend with nail salon, is there an option once the appointment is created at a specific time to input the mobile number of the customer and automaticly send a reminder message to lets say 6 hours prior to the randevous? thank you in advance

[@joycharles7879]

Thanks so much

[@AnsonAlexander]

You're very welcome!

[@GraminPathshala]

Thanks Buddy!!

[@theruthiesam]

Wow this is quite detailed ❤

[@AnsonAlexander]

Great to hear!

[@annettebroddie9703]

Awesome tutorial and really like color coding the calendars. Wondering if there is a way to use the calendar as a booking calendar for clients off my web site? I thought that I had explored that feature in the past. Thanks.

[@AnsonAlexander]

That's a great question. Yes, this can definitely done. You would have to use a Google Calendar add-on app and, off the top of my head, I don't have one if particular to recommend and wouldn't want to steer you in the wrong direction but you can take a look here and do some Googling to see what other recommend. I will add this to my list of potential topics to cover in the future. Here us the Google Workspace Apps link: workspace.google.com/marketplace/search/?host=calendar

[@annettebroddie9703]

Thank you!@@AnsonAlexander

[@infotaxibus2438]

Yes, I have been looking into this too, but appointments are time blocked and described as ‘appointment’ I just need the start time inputted by customer, and the word ‘appointment’ changed to ‘requested time’ or ‘pick up time’

[@gabrielagonzales8857]

Thank you was great! How do I set it up to show on my laptop every time I open my Dell laptop that comes with window?

[@mariatheresarefalda415]

thank you, this a great help for me

[@Funny_Text3]

thanks for the help

[@joaquin.lumi821]

Bro you'reso helpful💯💯

[@AnsonAlexander]

Appreciate that

[@lizachelico8810]

I am trying to find a way to organize our family. It seems some videos suggest a separate account for each family member so I guess they each have their own calendar… but I can also create multiple calendars in my account. When would I want to use a calendar within my own account versus an account I made for my husband? Tat is confusing me.. I manage the family and our events for the most part. Is there an advantage to each person having an account and their personal calendar versus a calendar for each person within my account?

[@CP-oc6ov]

Hi Anson, can you advise me how can I set this up in the Google calendar Mon & Wed, Tue & Thu as recurring alternate 2 weeks? Example: Week 1 in the office: Mon and Wed Week 2 in the office: Tue and Thu Week 3 in the office: Mon and Wed Week 4 in the office: Tue and Thu

[@MargaretMcKnight-d8v]

I am a guest user in a corporate Google Suite, managing multiple projects across multiple business units. I need advanced guidance for setting up meetings with external invitees, internal invitees, allowing all to join without having to wait for someone to let them in, to give everyone the ability to speak, chat, contribute and to automatically record the calls and send out the link to all attendees with the attendee list, transcript and recording. Please point me to any videos you may have which will help me skill up... our company uses MS Office Suite and Teams so this is new for me.

[@RuthAnnLeHane-c3b]

Great tutorial! How do I add birthdays?

[@emmanueladebanji4346]

Thank you so much Anson for the video. I am trying to add a calendar on my Google calendar app on my mobile phone, but I can't see any provision for that. What do you think is the issue sir ?

[@soniabauche9280]

Thank you!

[@almendradoutreleau4395]

❤😊 good video thanks!

[@AnsonAlexander]

Thank you and you're welcome :)

[@TownParkVillage]

great video!!

[@ronnylol676]

Am i the only one who finds google calendar unnecessary difficult to navigate? seriously how did they make something so simple so stressful.

[@mannyberroa4725]

No

[@andreamcmahon30]

Its actually pretty straight forward…

[@jayedahmed3437]

it’s not difficult. But if you wanna get rid of adhd best to spend a few more hours to learn the way it works

[@accentontheoff]

I agree. Compared to Apple Calendar even more so.

[@hmichaelr1]

Awesome, Anson! Now, if you could tell me how to stop Google Calendar from deleting completed tasks on my Android phone, I would truly appreciate it. I occasionally need to know when I completed a task (like a medical appointment, for instance). I used to just scroll through the schedule view to find the entry. Why can't I do that anymore? Is there an app that better suits my needs or do I need to start lugging around a personal organizer again?

[@reubenogirri]

Thanks for the content. How do you confirm an event that you've been invited to in google calendar via email?

[@wisepilgrim343]

thank you for the infos. do i still get an "delayed" notification if my mobile phone is off during the time i normally would recieve the notification once my device is turned back on?

[@lindabright4609]

good video thank you. I wondered if it's possible to color the header for the calendar. I have looked and can't find where it's possible. Color calendars would be so coo!

[@moniquefrench7386]

thanks! great info BUT...how do you get different Gmail calendars to display all events on your primary Google calendar? Thanks in advance.

[@AnsonAlexander]

You just enable those calendars on the bottom left side of the screen. If you asking about actually moving those events to the primary calendar - that kind of goes against the idea of using multiple calendars. You're free to just use one calendar as well if that works better for your workflow.

[@moniquefrench7386]

​@@AnsonAlexander thx for the quick reply ❤. I don't want to move them. Just view all my events in one place. on my phone (Samsung s21 ultra) it's easy I just check the boxes of the email addresses of the calendars I want to show. But Those email addys don't show up as options on desktop though 😢. Suggestions?

[@jenniferhagemann1518]

Thanks - I am trying to figure out how to see the events I have for a work calendar that I don’t own, and then see my personal calendar but also have my husband be able to see my work and our joint business calendar and then our family calendar. How can I bring in an ‘outside’ calendar in a way that I can see it, he can see it, and it also isn’t overwhelming?

[@ashleypiechocki2285]

I am praying you will be my hero! I have a google mini gen 2 and I want notifications from my calendar to go off on my mini AND my phone. Any ideas?

[@orangejuice-vs3nx]

Thank you so much

[@hoirunnisabela4000]

Hello brother, thanks you so much the videos your share

[@BigfootDigger]

[@MIke-pc5se]

Thank you very much for useful tips. How do you get the total of worked hours in a month from google calendar easily??? I am manually adding each by each at this moment....
