How to Use?
You can find and control this feature in two places: My Profile and Calendar Connections.
My Profile
- Navigate to Settings > My Profile.
- Scroll down to the Calendar Configuration section.
- Find the Private Mode for Synced Events option and enable or disable it as needed.
Calendar Settings > Connections
- Go to Calendar Settings > Connections.
- Scroll to the Private Mode for Synced Events option.
- Enable or disable the setting according to your preference.
Note:
This feature is accessible in Labs and is automatically enabled for all users. It guarantees that your synced events stay private and visible only to you, allowing you full control over your calendar’s privacy.
Important Notes:
- Supported Calendars: This feature applies only to Google and Outlook calendars. iCloud does not support private/public event settings, meaning all iCloud events will be visible to all users.
- Private Events in Google & Outlook Calendars:
- If an individual event is marked as private in the third-party calendar (Google/Outlook), it will be automatically hidden in the platform by default, regardless of whether the "Hide Events" toggle is enabled.
- If the "Hide Events" toggle is turned on, all synced events (including private and public) will appear as 'Busy' instead of showing event details.
