Better location context for events and RSVPs in Calendar

We’re making it even easier to use RSVPs in Google Calendar and let others know how you’re planning to join a meeting. 

You can now select a RSVP join method that’s powered by your working location, whether that’s joining in a particular meeting room or virtually. With the new RSVP option, Calendar will automatically update how you intend to join the meeting if your working location changes. In addition, your colleagues will now see your working location or out of office status directly in the guest list section of a Calendar event. 

We hope this feature improves the way you and your colleagues utilize your planned working location for meetings and events, especially in a hybrid work environment.
