How do I turn the Google Calendar Appointment schedule on?

To create a booking page, you need to be subscribed to at least [url=]Google Workspace's Business Standard level, which costs $12.99 a month. (The feature isn't available to Workspace Essentials, Business Starter or Frontline users, or legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers.)

If you do have a premium account and got the upgrade, you should be able to toggle between the old "Appointment slots" and the new "Appointment schedule" tool in Settings. (Existing meetings won't be affected.)

First, open on your computer. Then go to "Settings," then "General" and then "Appointment schedules."

To turn Appointment schedules on, check the box next to "Create appointment schedules instead of appointment slots." 

To turn the feature off, just uncheck the box.

How is Appointment scheduling different from Appointment slots?

The "appointment schedule" feature brings Google Calendar more in line with scheduling platform Calendly, [url=]as Protocol points out, which can integrate five different calendars -- including Google Calendar and Microsoft Teams.

Google Calendar has long had an  feature, but it's intended for an internal group, like classmates, coworkers or [url=https://www.travelwitheaseblog.com/?s=friends]friends. Appointment scheduling works with anyone with an email address, even people who don't have a Google account. 

In addition, it has an automatic conflict-detection feature that shows when you're busy and "helps reduce time spent finding and rescheduling appointments," Google  on Friday.

Workspace users can also control how many people can book early or last-minute, limit the number of appointments per day, add a baked-in buffer time between meetings and collect additional info from people making appointments.

And both you and your clients get automatic confirmation and reminder emails before your meeting.

Do I still need the old Appointment slots tool for anything?

There are a few features the preview version of Appointment schedules doesn't have yet.

Google recommends using the old "appointment slots" feature if you need to add an additional team member, delegate [url=http://home.ynutx.net/link.php?url=http://www.alwaysgotogether.com/thai-food-bangkok-bold-kitchen/]printable calendar by month support or to book a conference room.
