Google Calendar integration
Google Calendar integration allows you to get reminders about upcoming events on your BUSY Bar and show your status during meetings. It helps you never miss important events and lets others know you’re busy.
On this page, you’ll learn about Google Calendar integration, how to connect and disconnect calendars:
How the calendar syncing works
Once synced with your Google Calendar, the BUSY Bar automatically displays real-time updates for your events:
Before the event: BUSY Bar shows a reminder with the event title and a countdown to the event start.
During the event: The display switches to an active status, showing the event title and the time remaining. You can change the status to a custom message.
You can customize the reminder and the message shown during the event, or disable them completely. You can also sync multiple calendars from different Google accounts and set notifications for each one separately.
How events work on BUSY Bar
- Always on top: Events overlay any status and are shown even in sleep mode
- Event overlap: Newest events and most recently added calendars take priority
- All-Day events: Events lasting 24+ hours are not shown
