How do I set an Out of Office in Google Calendar?

Jordan and Lauren sat a desk with the question of the week from training

Question - How do I set an Out of office in Google Calendar?

We love it when people interact and ask us questions in our live training sessions, and we are going to share the questions we get in a blog post series - there are never any silly questions in CloudShed sessions.

Step #1 - Open your Google Calendar

Step #2 - Click the Create button...

Or on the date, you wish to start your Out of office.

The create event drop down in Google Calendar

Step #3 - Customising your Out of office

Select your dates or times, decide if you would like Google Calendar to decline new meetings and even customise your out-of-office message, just like you would with your Gmail Out of Office.
