You may not know it, but Google is committed to families. And it is that he wants to make things easy for the members of a family unit to share their games, applications, libraries of books and movies and other content. Something that serves to save time, money and headaches. In this way the virtual family library is as easily accessible as if it were in the classroom bookcase. Something that Google has now also extended to its calendar tool.
This way families can share appointments, events and entire calendars without any difficulty. And without having to share each management that is done in the Google Calendar. Everything remains synchronized between the family's devices so that each member only has to consult it when they have questions. Or so that you receive notifications on your own mobile when that special day arrives. Read on to learn how to create a family calendar.
Create a Family Plan
Of course, the first thing is to create a family group on Google Play to ensure the members with whom to share content. The process is simple, but it requires someone to carry it out and take over the admin reins.
You just have to go to Google Play to create a Family Collection. This feature is found in the Account menu.Here the Family section allows you to create the aforementioned family group. This is made up of up to six members, who are invited by entering their Gmail email account. Google thought it for families, but it is possible to invite friends. After all, at the moment, Google does not ask for the family book to know the family relationships of the users.
Once the group is created with all its members (up to a total of 6), it is already possible to start enjoying the family advantages .
A calendar for the whole family
If you have a Family Collection, the Google Calendar application automatically creates a family calendar This document is shared by all members of the group. This means that all of them can consult it to see what the appointments are. Also receive notifications of all these events, of course.
Anyone in the Family Collection can create, edit, or delete family calendar events Just sign in to Google Calendar or Google Calendar and, in the menu, look for the Family calendar. You can also rename the calendar to match the theme or family.
An important point is that you cannot invite other users to participate in this calendar. Only family members use it. However, it is possible to summon other contacts to any appointment or event created in this calendar A real point in favor to continue organizing issues beyond the family nucleus.
Family Calendar Notifications
By default, notifications for this family calendar are set as they are set in the user's primary calendar. However, it is a fully customizable skin.
Just display the main menu of the Google Calendar or Google Calendar application and look in the calendar section for the family member. An arrow appears next to its name that displays a contextual section. In it is the menu Edit notifications It is here where the alarms, sounds and times are established to warn of each event that is going to happen. All this so that each calendar, even if it is shared, is to the consumer's liking.
