How to use Google Calendar

[imz1786]

@whatasite i have an iphone and i don't know how to set a rule to remind me of a date every day before the actual date thanks

[whatasite]

@imz1786 I use an email notification system with my iphone. I get an email about upcoming events in my calendar.

At @4:20 you specifically state that the user can "insert the *GMail* accounts for all of your members". First off, I do believe that these are GMail *addresses*, but apart from that...can this only be done if the members have a GMail account?

[whatasite]

@YTMrVulcan I found issues with using email accounts that were not gmail accounts. It was fast to setup the gmail accounts and just configure an email forwarder to the real email addresses for each person. This issue maybe corrected now but this is the way we fixed it.

This is a great online calendar and is very useful with the Chrome extension, Checker Plus for Google Calendar

what is your place to view your go ogle calendar? (for example: with a tool, in gmail, igo ogle) I find it takes quite some time to go to google . com/calendar when I want to quickly create a task or appointment or just to view what I should do right now.

@discy12345 When you login your gmail, you will notice a link located at the upper left corner of the screen. It is right next to the word Gmail, all the best, Kevin

Did this video help?

Is it possible to add my contacts' birthdays into my Google Calendar? It was possible in Yahoo Calendar, but in Google's calendar I couldn't find that option.

[whatasite]

You can double click on the day of the birthday, select edit details and select occurs yearly. It does not list a birthday option like Yahoo.

All the best,

Kevin

Yes, you can do it automatically.

Go to Settings > Calendar Settings > Calendars > Browse Interesting Calendars (it's on the right hand side of the page below your main calendars, but above any calendars you've subscribed to by other people or organizations).

After going here, click on the "More" tab and Subscribe to "Contacts' birthdays and events".

No problem all the best

Great tutorial. When I go to share with another user who has a hotmail account, they never receive the invite (I sent it to a second email that I use to test, and received no email). Is it possible to do this?

[whatasite]

To avoid any conflicts, I would get all members to get a gmail account and it will work without any issues.

[jtripper22]

I found out if people aren't wanting to use a gmail account, you can set up a Google Calendar Account (or just Google Account), and access the calendar that way. I'll be trying this out on Tuesday - I'll let you know if I found out anything useful. Thanks again.

[whatasite]

I am sorry to say that you may of been finding it hard to do this for a reason. The calendar does not offer all the features you need including a customized way to print the calendar. This may change, sorry.

All the best,

Kevin

How do you print a list of all of the events I put on the calander for a year

[mayaluvsmusic]

How do I make calendars private?

[whatasite]

Actually as long as you do not enable this setting below:

Share this calendar

Make this calendar public (Learn more)

This calendar will appear in public Google search results.

Share only my free/busy information (Hide details)

Then your calendar by default will be private.

All the best,

Kevin

[mayaluvsmusic]

Thanks that's a relief!

[whatasite]

No problem,

Glad to help,

Kevin

Thank you very informative, I am unable to remove the weather from my google home page any help appreciated.

[whatasite]

hmmm... it is pretty easy should be a button that looks like an x. click it and you will not longer have that feature listed on your google homepage. Let me know if it works out for you.

Wish more people would add tutorials to Youtube, they really help a lot of people (not me), but I'm glad to see it on here

[whatasite]

Thank you very much for your kind words.

All the best,
