Google Calendar in Gmail now lets you indicate if you’re attending meetings remotely or in-person

This should help make your appointments less confusing and abide by ongoing restrictions.

Google brought a handy Google Calendar feature straight into its e-mail platform, Gmail. 

Back in July, Google Calendar lets you specify if you’re attending your meetings virtually, or in person. This helped to clarify if you’re needed physically or not, in spite of ongoing workplace mingling restrictions. 

Now, your online/physical RSVPs can be done directly via Gmail. Both organisers and attendees can see how guests are attending in each invite, but not if your attendees are outside of the Google Workspace platform.

Do note that there are no administrative controls over this feature. Google also said that the feature rollout began earlier this week, with the new tool fully reaching Gmail users within the next 15 days.
