Check your availability across calendars

Important:To check availability from secondary calendars, you need to have an eligible Google Workspace or Google One plan. Compare premium features for appointment schedules .

To prevent conflicts with other events, you can check your availability across multiple calendars. This includes your primary calendar and any calendars that you own, manage, or are subscribed to.

Learn how Calendar checks for conflicts

• When you check other calendars for availability:
  • Appointment times during events on your calendar that are set to “Busy” don't show on the booking page. Learn how to change event privacy settings .
  • No appointment times show up on days where you have an all-day event set to “Busy.”
• When you don’t check other calendars for availability:
  • Appointment times show up on your booking page during times where you have a "Busy" event on your calendar.
  • All time blocks appear as open on your booking pages. This applies even when you accept a non-appointment event. Each appointment time on a booking page can only be booked once, even with this feature turned off.
  • If someone books an appointment, Google Calendar removes that appointment time from the booking page.
• If you RSVP “Yes” or “Maybe” to an event or have any busy event in a calendar that is reviewed for conflicts, that block of time doesn’t appear as open on your booking page.

Review secondary calendars for conflicts

1. On a computer, open Google Calendar .
2. Click an existing appointment scheduleEdit appointment schedule.
3. Click Calendars.
4. Select the calendars you’d like to check for conflicts.

• To check the impact of your appointment schedule, your calendar shows a preview of your selected calendars.
• If you don’t want to check for schedule conflicts, turn off Check calendars for availability.

Tips:

• To hide appointment schedules, in the top right, click the View switcher menu and unselect Show appointment schedules.
• If an appointment schedule is hidden and you create or edit a schedule, the hidden appointment schedule appears again. Booked appointments are never hidden on the Calendar grid.
• When the schedule is created on a shared calendar, it may not be possible to select other calendars to be reviewed for conflicts.

Fix availability issues on your booking page

• Check your scheduling window settings: These settings limit how far in advance or how close to the actual appointment time bookers can book an appointment. If appointment times are outside the set ranges, they don’t show on the booking page.
• Check booked appointment settings: These settings manage the booked appointments that appear on your calendar. If you set up a “Maximum bookings per day,” appointment times may not show up if it reaches the set limit.

Tip:No matter which setting you choose, each appointment time on a booking page can only be booked once.
