There are three different types of reminder options in Calendar:

• Email
• SMS*

Set multiple reminders and never miss another meeting! Be reminded via email a week in advance, via SMS an hour before the event, and via pop-up with four minutes to spare. Just click Add a reminder

* Note: Your mobile device will first need to be verified on the Mobile SetupCalendar Settings

Click the Check guest and resource availability

Google Calendar allows you to view multiple calendars at once. You can have one calendar for work meetings, another for a specific project, and a third for your personal use. Add your colleagues' calendars and view events from multiple calendars, side-by-side on the same calendar grid. Organizing your time has never been simpler.

To display events scheduled on a particular calendar, click on the calendar name. In your calendar list, calendars that are selected for viewing are highlighted by the colored bar.

Events will be displayed according to the calendar's color. To change the color for any calendar, just click the down-arrow next to the calendar name and select from the colored boxes that appear.
