We really wanted to use this, but having an appointment link creates a permanent vertical "event" in your own calendar that you can't get rid of. So adding multiple appointment links (e.g. one for 30mins and one for 60mins) completely destroys your own calendar view.
- asah 2y agoI create two: 30min and 45min, then for longer (rare) I just ask people to book two adjacent slots. I've had no pushback.
- DreaminDani 2y agoIn the desktop version of the calendar, you can click the view settings in the upper right and turn off calendar appointments They still show up on the mobile version of Google calendar though :/
- usbsea 2y agoYes sort of enough to be useful to use, and I do use it, but not complete enough to be perfect. A bit like Google tasks! It does the main things though - it can check other calendars, people can book into your calendar, it deals with time zones and schedules. It fits into the valley of "use if you are already using Google stuff alot, but not worth it as a solo feature if you don't". Cal.com is way better. But then that is no suprise, it's their only job.

- tyrw 2y agoThank you! That's such a strange place to put it. Silly me, looking on the "Settings" > "View options" page instead of the button that says "Week". Edit: doesn't look like there is the equivalent option on mobile, so unfortunately appointments still nukes my phone calendar usability, which is also a deal breaker.
