I dont understand why all the people who create these videos about creating Goggle appointment schedules dont tell you that its only available for paid Google Workspace accounts instead of having everyone looking for the "Create appointment schedules instead of appointment slots" option. Just common curtesy to let the viewers know. SMH
Thanks for a helpful video! In settings I can't find the "Create appointment schedules...". "Keyboard shortcuts" is the very last setting in the general area in settings for me. Does one need a subscription in order to have schedule and slots available, or where to find it? Edit: I logged on into a Google Workspace account, but still I cannot see the "Create appointment schedules...". The only option I have is the Appointment slots when creating a new event in the calendar.

Hi Tom. Thanks for your informative video. Very helpful but I have one - difficult - question... I want to book slots for up to 6 people at a time, however, they may be from different groups or families. I'd like to get the maximum amount of people per slot. Do you know if I can keep a slot open until it's maxed out? ie a family of 4 and a couple of other individual people.
Great question. The ability to do what you are asking is not currently an option in Google Calendar. Let's hope we see this or something similar in the near future!
Hi Tom! Is it possible to "hide" the appointment schedule time slots in your google calendar? I don't want to see info unless someone actually books a real appointment because it clutters up the view. As in, I want to see an actual appointment, but I don't want to see all the slots I made available for someone to book. Does that make sense?
Good question Lacy! I understand the problem. At this time, there isn't a way to "hide" the empty slots on your calendar. I hope that future updates to Google Calendar include the ability to only see the "Booked" time slots.
Thanks. Enjoyed the succinct info and walk-through. ;) I didn't have the option in my settings so assuming this is only available on a paid Google account.
Very helpfull video, in my case i have 3 technicians available for daily appointments for replacing computer for company. i would select 3 as the Number of appointments per slot, is it possible ? because i check every where but i didnt found any thing.
I have to book appointments with external clients, but also include colleagues I work with. How do I share these appointment types with colleagues, so that these predetermined times act as placeholders on their calendars until booking? Also, I only want this to apply to an additional appointments calendar, not my main calendar. How do I do that? Please and thanks!
Do you know how we can get the available time to remove other linked calendars? For example, I have other businesses that I bring into my calendar. Calendly can look at multiple calendars to determine availability. I would like for this schedule to be able to do the same? Do you know how?
Hey I have a question what if I don't have a website can I just share the calendar to one specific person Thursday email and they can choose the slots without having to go to the website ???
Great Video! Question - is scheduling feature now a paid service? I was attempting to use and see this feature is now $7.99 is there an option of without cost?
FROM GOOGLE: Appointment schedules are a premium feature available to Google Workspace Individual subscribers.

Fantastic video. Thank you for the customer's perspective. You explained everything clearly. I really enjoyed getting to see what the customer interface and experience would be. Most videos don't show that. Very well rounded video. A+. However, I don't recall you mentioning that this is a PAID premium feature.
I pay for a google workspace account for my business (in NZ) but I can't see or find a 'Appointment Schedules' option at all? My options end at 'Turn on the offline calendar.' Perhaps it's part of the upgraded package? I'm on Business Basic/Starter from memory.

It's a very good addon by google to replace calendly and alternatives, but the challenging part is the link. the generated calendar link is not friendly and must be customizable.

Can you make restrictions when creating a booking or making an appointment, so to restrict someone who already made an appointment not to be able again to make one so one can book all the appointments and not show up...
Hello, I don't see the Booking form option in my schedule. How is that possible? I am unable to add custom fields as shown in the video. Additionally, I was wondering if this could be set up for multiple colleagues at once or is it just for individuals? I really need to be able to provide a schedule for clients to book a workshop with either me or one of my colleagues. Any advice is much appreciated, thanks!
Great video! I am integrating my appointment schedule into Hubspot via Zapier. The trigger is when 'a new event is created', and the action is it will 'creates or updates a contact in Hubspot'. However, whenever anyone within my organisation sends me a google meet invitation it creates them as a contact in Hubspot. I have tried to add a second calendar, so that it will only trigger when an event is created in this calendar but I can't seem to create the appointment schedule only in the new calendar. It seems I can only create a schedule in my main calendar which is a problem as any event created will create a Hubspot contact. Do you know how I can get around this?
Tom, how would I create an appointment slot and allow multiple people to sign up for one slot? I have clinics that can take up to 6 people in one appointment. Is this possible?
Hello, under "Add an Item" in the booking form, what kind of items can be added? I have a small transportation business and I am wondering if I could add a "location" item to use as a pickup address. Thanks Tom!
Hello Tom, great feature for me, but i live in Austria and i can't see the option in the calendar settings. Another question: i have appointments categories and each has his own duration. How to do this?
Am I able to make more than one time slot for the same time on the same day....For instance can I set appts from say 11am - 2pm with three slots in each 15 min appt slot for the duration of the time?
thanks for the video mate! very helpful. When i open the share link of appointment schedule it is open up in the present date and not in the appointment date. any idea how to fix it??
Thank you for showing what it looks like from the clients perspective. I was trying to figure out how to make the appointment for someone. Many times I set up the appointment ahead of time but I want to set it up so that it sends out a reminder to the other person.

@@TomLarson Do you know how to prevent appointment times from showing if you have something already booked (busy) on your calendar?

@Angela Valentine Edit the appointment schedule and in the ADJUSTED AVAILABILITY area, pick the date and time slot you need to modify based on your personal calendar appointment. Simply adjust the schedule so things don't overlap. See screenshot. ibb.co/NCvXQ74

Possible to use with MS TEAMS? also how do we skip appointments on holidays?
This will only work in the Google environment. As for holidays... Simply book the holiday yourself so it doesn't appear as an option for folks.
Hi. What if the appointment day is clashed with public holidays? Do we need to customize our schedules?
Yes, customization is necessary. Also, you can book the holiday yourself so it doesn't appear as an option for people.
I am very much excited about this feature and will be creating resources for my teachers to share this feature with them ASAP!
Great! Thanks for watching!
Hello,
This is awesome. The problem that I'm having is embedded it I to my website.
Doesn't appear to have the ability to embed at this time...

No they don't.

Do you know if it's possible to integrate Zoom as a location instead? So when someone books an appointment, a Zoom meeting link will generate.
