If you are coordinating meetings with multiple people, or even across an entire team, you can create a Calendar and select the option to prevent double-booking across multiple calendars. You'll see the option to "Prevent Double-booking" at the bottom of each Calendar you have created.

Double-booking will prevent events from being scheduled on the specific calendars you add to "Prevent Double-booking". If the person you add uses multiple Google or Outlook calendars, you must add all of them in this section to prevent double-booking.

Simply type the name or email address of the calendar you want to add to prevent double-booking, and we'll show only times that work for all calendars.

You must have read/write access to the Google or Outlook calendars to enable this setting. To learn more, see how to share calendars and permissions.
