Google Calendar
What Google Calendar is
Google Calendar is a scheduling service from Google for personal and organizational planning. It provides shared calendars, time blocking, scheduling links, two-way synchronization, and video meeting support. Android and iOS apps are available, and calendars synchronize automatically across supported platforms. Personal Google Accounts can create one booking page directly in Calendar; Workspace subscribers can create unlimited booking pages. Organizations can make calendars available to everyone or selected users. Calendar integrates with Tasks, Gmail, and Meet, while Time Insights analyzes schedules. Focus time can silence notifications and automatically decline meetings. Migration options cover many calendar types, including Microsoft and IBM calendars. Google Account security is designed to detect and block spam, phishing, and malware. Google Workspace has a 14-day trial. Business Starter is listed at $7 a month with an annual commitment, or 8.40 USD monthly with no annual commitment; prices are shown in Indian rupees and exclude tax.
