| Google Calendar shows the time you spend in the meeting |
Google is adding a new Time Insight dashboard to its web version of its Google Calendar service, which shows users how much work they do in meetings each week.
According to a blog posted by the company, the feature will be rolled out gradually to specific levels over the next month.
It was first released in March and is part of the new features of Google Workspace.
The Time Insights panel was introduced two years after Google and Apple added similar details for Android and iOS to show how much time users spend using different apps.
Although these OS features include the ability to set time limits for each app, you cannot set similar limits for meetings in Google Calendar.
Screenshots published by the company show the nature of the ideas being presented by the board of directors. At the top is a "break time" pie chart that shows how much work time you spend in the meeting. These meetings are only divided into two-person meetings and not into larger groups of three or more people.
There are also screenshots of the weekly meeting time, features of the busiest days, and the average meeting time per day.
The company advises on the support page that calendar entries in which you are the only participant do not count towards the total number of such meetings.
This search giant ensures that you can see this information, not your manager. However, she added that she could see other people's details. The principle is that he has the right to manage his calendar.
