Are you tired of missing important events because you forgot to set a reminder? Google Calendar offers a convenient solution to this problem by allowing you to set default event reminders for each of your calendars. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to change the default notification time in Google Calendar.
First, navigate to the Calendar Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of your Google Calendar page. From there, scroll down to the “Event notifications” section and click on “Notifications.”
Keep in mind that event reminders are set per calendar, so if you have multiple calendars, make sure to select the correct one. Once you’ve selected your calendar, you’ll see the default notification time, which is usually set at 10 minutes before the event.
To add a notification, click on the “Add notification” button and choose the desired time and notification method. For example, if you want to receive a notification two hours before the event, you can set it up to send an email or display a pop-up message on your computer.
You can also set up event notifications for all-day events. By default, Google Calendar will send you a notification one day before the event, but you can customize this to suit your needs. For example, if you want to receive a notification on the day of the event, you can set it up to send a notification at 8:00 am the same day.
Remember that default notification times are set per calendar, so make sure to change the settings for each calendar you use. To save your changes, simply click on “Save” at the bottom of the page.
Once you’ve changed your default notification times, you’ll see them automatically applied to any new events you create. If you want to change the notification time for a specific event, you can do so by clicking on “More options” when creating the event.
In summary, changing the default notification time in Google Calendar can help you stay on top of your schedule and never miss an important event again. With just a few clicks, you can customize your notifications to suit your needs and avoid last-minute surprises.
