Good to know

  • With Premium, plans from Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar can show here too.
  • Everyone who can see a household plan can see who added it.
  • Making a New calendar in the Calendar picker is part of Premium. Teams meeting or Google Meet only show when Outlook or Google is connected.
  • Can't add a plan? An admin may have set Plan to View or Hidden for you.
