We let you set what times in the week you want to have meetings - no need to block off your calendar!

Thanks @zerzar. Unfortunately this changes for me, and I'd think for others, from week to week.

Ah I see, is the use case for things like doctors appointments vs more repeated tasks like picking up kids from school?

Both, I guess. For repeated tasks, there are times when I need to take over something unexpected. Are you accounting for all calendars in the view or just the logged in account?

We currently look only at the logged in account, but we have been toying with the idea of looking at both your personal & work calendar -- especially during the current WFH times.

Out of curiosity, how do you currently handle the case of your calendar being open, but not being free? Do your colleagues book the meeting anyway and then you let them know that they should reschedule because you're busy?

At the moment I'm not using any auto calendaring app, but sharing my availability through external interactions. Happy to help further if you'd like. kkotak at gmail dot com.
