Google Calendar users finally get more color options for customizing individual events. The previous limit of 11 preset options has been expanded to up to 200 colors across the Calendar web and mobile apps, as well as the Calendar API. Now each event has its own color. In addition to this, enterprise Google Voice users now have AI-powered “Take notes for me.”
Google Calendar finally gets more colors for individual events
As said, Google Calendar previously offered 11 predefined colors for events. This is now changing to offer up to 200 colors, allowing users to personalize events and “visually organize their calendar with ease.” Google says this update finally “fulfills a long-standing feature request from both business and personal users.” Google Calendar on all platforms will let users select from 24 default colors by default. There’s a full RGB color picker on the web and Calendar API.
This update started rolling out on June 17th, i.e., yesterday, for users on Google’s rapid release domains, with an extended rollout starting on June 29th for more users. It’ll be available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individuals subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.
Take notes for me
Then there’s “Take notes for me” for enterprise Google Voice users. Besides recording, Gemini will now transcribe calls, summarize key points, and organize action items, much like in Google Meet. As part of the update, the “Record” button has been renamed to “Notes,” and participants will see a notice that says, “This call is being recorded and captured by AI.”
After the call, there will be a transcript, audio recording, and notes in the Voice app. Additionally, users will receive an email of the notes. The “Take notes for me” feature is available with the Voice Standard and Voice Premier add-ons, as well as the Voice Standard standalone plans. While it’s available by default for new Voice users, it requires manual enablement for existing users.
