Google's Latest Calendar Feature: A Scheduling Savvy Newcomer

In a bid to streamline meeting scheduling, Google has recently introduced a new Gemini feature for its calendar tool. This innovative update allows users to find the optimal time for their meetings by considering attendees' schedules and potential conflicts. Upon creating a meeting invite, individuals can opt for the "Suggested times" option, which then analyzes participants' availability on their calendars to present a curated list of possible time slots.

However, what may appear like a scheduling dream come true may have some caveats. If multiple attendees decline the invitation, users will be able to reschedule by revisiting the event and selecting an alternative time slot when everyone is available. Nonetheless, for this feature to function seamlessly, meeting organizers must have access to attendees' calendars.

This cutting-edge tool is exclusive to paid Google Workspace plans, including Business (Standard and Plus), Enterprise (Standard and Plus), and Education users with the AI Pro add-on. Currently available on Rapid Release domains, the feature will be rolled out to Scheduled Release domains starting February 2.
 
omg this new calendar feature sounds like a total game changer 🤩 but idk how they're gonna get ppl to share their calendars tho its like, gotta trust these people with our schedules 🕒️ what if some of them dont wanna be extra organized lol? anyway i'm hyped to try it out on my paid workspace plan 💸
 
I'm so stoked about this new calendar feature from Google! As a student, I can imagine how crazy it gets trying to coordinate study sessions and group project meetings with friends 🤯. This "Suggested times" option is like having your own personal assistant who knows everyone's schedules except, you know, when you need help getting that A+ on the exam 😅.

But for real though, if multiple attendees decline an invite, rescheduling can get pretty tricky. I mean, what if the person who originally declined has a conflicting class or something? It'd be awesome if Google could just automatically suggest alternative times based on past patterns 🤔. Still, this feature is a huge step forward in making meetings more efficient, and I'm hyped to see it roll out across different plans soon! 💻
 
idk about this new calender feature 🤔... seems legit tho 🙌 can be a game changer for busy people like me who got a million tabs open at once lol 💻 imagine being able to schedule meetings without stressing about conflicting times slots 🕰️ but u gotta have access to attendees' calendars which is kinda invasive 🤷‍♀️ still, i guess it's a great way to optimize meeting time 🕒️ https://news.google.com/amp/n/Android Authority: Google Calendar gets Gemini feature
 
🤔 I'm so down for this new calendar feature! As a busy bee myself, I've always struggled with finding time that works for everyone. This Gemini thingy seems like a total game-changer 🚀, especially if you have a big team or multiple projects going on at the same time. But yeah, having to share calendars with others might be a bit of a hassle, especially if some people are super busy or can't commit to certain times 😅. Still, it's great that Google is trying to make our lives easier and more efficient! 💻
 
I'm so over these new calendar features 🤦‍♀️. I mean, what's wrong with just having a plain old paper planner? This Google thingy is just making things too complicated... remember when we used to have to actually write down our schedules and hope for the best? 😂 And now you're telling me that I need to give Google access to my personal calendar so they can suggest times for me? It's like, hello! Can't I just use my own brain to figure out a good time for a meeting?! 🤷‍♀️
 
OMG, just heard about this new Google calendar feature 🤩 - I'm literally loving it! Scheduling meetings is such a pain point for me, and now with this Gemini thingy, it's supposed to be way more efficient 💪. The part that's got me stoked is how it analyzes attendees' schedules and suggests optimal times... talk about saving time! 🕒️ However, I do wish there was a way to share the suggested times directly with my colleagues without having to send them multiple invites 📧. And, like, can we get an option to ignore those pesky 'unavailable' people who always seem to be busy 🙄? Overall though, this sounds like game-changing tech for remote teams 👥! 💻
 
omg u guys i just tried google's new calendar feature and its literally a game changer! 🤩 i have like 10 meetings this week and having to guess everyone's availability is so annoying now that i can just use the suggested times feature it automatically finds the best time slots for me 💯 but on the downside i did try it with one of my colleagues who is super busy rn and they said they don't feel comfortable sharing their calendar with me 🤔 still 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to save their sanity during meeting season 😂
 
I'm loving this new Gemini feature in Google Calendar 🤩 - it's gonna save me so much time trying to figure out when everyone's free for meetings! But, gotta say, I'm a bit concerned about what happens if all the attendees decline the invite... does that mean I'll be stuck with no options? Hopefully, they've thought this one through. It'd be awesome if we could get this feature on our personal accounts too, but I guess it's still only for the Business and Enterprise plans right now 🤔.
 
I'm so done with Google's latest calendar feature 🙄! On one hand, I love that they're trying to make meeting scheduling easier - it's about time, right? 😂 But on the other hand, I don't think this new Gemini thingy is a game-changer. I mean, what if all your coworkers are super busy and can't even be bothered to check their calendars before you send out an invite? 🤦‍♀️ And then they're like "no thanks" and you're left scrambling to find a new time slot.

And don't even get me started on the fact that it's only available for paid users 🤑. Like, what about all those students who can barely afford their Google Workspace subscription? 😒 Not exactly fair, if you ask me. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this feature plays out - I hope they add more accessibility options soon! 👀
 
🤔 I'm all about efficiency when it comes to scheduling meetings 🕒️, but Google's new Gemini feature is a game-changer! The idea of automatically analyzing attendees' schedules and suggesting optimal meeting times is genius 😊. No more back-and-forth emailing or calling around to find a time that works for everyone.

However, I do have some concerns about this feature. What happens if one of the attendees is using a different calendar app or has conflicting schedule updates? It might cause some issues 🤯. And let's be real, not all meeting organizers have access to their team members' personal calendars 📅... at least, not without some serious collaboration.

The fact that this feature is exclusive to paid plans might limit its adoption, especially for smaller businesses or solo entrepreneurs who are on a tighter budget 💸. That being said, if implemented correctly, it has the potential to save a ton of time and reduce meeting-induced stress 😬.
 
omg I just got this new calendar thingy from Google and I'm obsessed 🤩 but like what's up with having to share my schedule with others? I mean I get it's for meetings and stuff but I don't want anyone knowing when I'm free 😂 anyway I was thinking of trying out the "suggested times" feature but isn't that just asking me to give away too much info about myself 🤔 or am I just being paranoid?
 
I'm not really sure about this new calendar thingy 🤔. I mean, it sounds like a great idea - just get all the times sorted out so we don't clash with each other's schedules... but what if you don't know who else is on your team's calendar? Like, how are they supposed to figure that out for you? It seems like it might be a bit of a hassle to set up. And isn't Google Workspace already pretty pricey? I'm not sure this extra feature is worth the extra cash 💸.
 
Ugh, can we talk about how clunky this new feature is gonna be in practice? I mean, having to share my personal calendar with the meeting organizer just feels like a hassle 🤦‍♀️. And what's up with it not being available on free plans?! That's already a barrier for small businesses and solo entrepreneurs who can't afford to shell out extra cash 💸. Plus, it's gonna be frustrating when some attendees don't want to share their schedules or just forget to do so... I guess the automated rescheduling feature is kinda cool, but only if everyone's on the same page 🤔. Overall, I'm skeptical about how well this new gemini feature will live up to its promise 😐.
 
I'm loving this new calendar feature from Google 🤩! It's like they're trying to make our lives easier, you know? I mean, who hasn't spent way too much time trying to find a time that works for everyone? But yeah, the fact that it'll suggest times based on attendees' schedules is a total game-changer. And if someone declines the invite, you can just reschedule and try again... it's not rocket science, but it makes sense 💡

But I do wish they made this feature available to more users, like free Google accounts or something 🤔. I mean, why should only the big business folks get to use this cool new tool? But hey, at least we can look forward to it being rolled out on scheduled release domains soon... fingers crossed it'll make its way into our lives sooner rather than later 👍
 
I'm not sure if this new Gemini feature is gonna be a game changer or just another example of how big tech giants are using their power to dictate how we live our lives. I mean, what's next? Are they gonna start telling us when it's the perfect time to take a break? 🤔 We're already seeing so much emphasis on productivity and efficiency with this new feature, but at what cost? Are we just becoming more dependent on these fancy tools to manage our schedules?

And let's be real, who gets to decide how we use our calendars anyway? The meeting organizers or the attendees themselves? It feels like Google is trying to create a new class system based on who has access to their calendar features. Business users get this luxury while education users with add-ons are left out in the cold 🤷‍♀️. I'm not saying it's bad, but we need to be careful about how these technologies shape our lives and priorities.
 
So I'm thinking, what's the big deal about this new calendar feature from Google? Like, it sounds super helpful for people trying to schedule meetings and all that 🤔. But honestly, I think it's a bit invasive that they need access to attendees' calendars in the first place...I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cool that it can suggest optimal times and all that jazz, but what if some people are just not on board with sharing their personal schedules online? 🤷‍♀️

And let's be real, for those paying premium plans, like Google Workspace users, this might seem like a nice-to-have feature. But for others who aren't shelling out the big bucks, they're gonna have to stick with the old way of doing things 😐. Not exactly groundbreaking news, if you ask me...
 
Ugh I'm so over these new features! 🙄 Like what's wrong with good old fashioned scheduling? You gotta sync everyone's calendars and hope for the best? This Gemini thing sounds like a recipe for disaster, what if someone forgets to share their schedule or it just plain doesn't work?! And now we're gonna have to pay extra for this "convenience"? I mean I get it, productivity and all that but come on Google, can't you just give us the basic feature without breaking the bank? 🤑
 
I'm all about this new calendar feature 🤔. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we've got your back, organizers!" But what I want to know is, who's paying for it? These paid plans are only available to businesses and schools that can afford the extra expense 💸. What about those small startups or solo entrepreneurs who need this feature just as much? Are they going to get left behind? And think about it, if meeting organizers have access to attendees' calendars, isn't that like having a peek into their personal lives? It's all about control and power, if you ask me 🤝. Let's not forget, with great scheduling power comes great responsibility...
