Google Calendar

Enable “Working Hours”

At MUI, we avoid as much as possible ad-hoc meetings, however, there is still the need to create new ones, e.g. for a new recurring event, or Donut calls. Because we work from different timezones and have differing schedules, new events need to be scheduled on timeslots where all the attendees are available, therefore, we recommend enabling the “Working Hours” feature to help:

Timezone

Per Timezones, you can configure a secondary timezone:

Modifying events

Click configure your events so that by default, all guests can modify them. This can be checked by default under Event Settings.

It can also be configured on a per-event basis:

Why? It allows people to fix the time/description/else directly instead of having to reach out to you.

Event privacy (done by default)

We recommend you set your Google Calendar access permissions to "Make available for MUI - See all event details". For example, it's the configuration used by our CEO, it embodies transparency.
