Great video, In my case so I don't miss any meeting I set the alarm in my Apple Watch for each meeting I have. I want the alarm as it rings till I actually see it and stop it, as I get many notifications and got used to ignore them. Would be great to make an integration between Google Calendar and Apple Watch's Alarm, or similar. If you know how to do it, let me know.

Perfect video! That's the best way I can describe it. Thank you!

This was a great vidio. on my iPhones Google Calendar (Settings to General) I do not see "Notifications" Section. Not do I see "Notify on this device" ?? Can you tell me how to get that to populate?

[JohnRoperLaw]

Good video. Thank you. I wish Google would enable notifications more than 28 days/4 weeks in advance. Irksome for people with deadlines that span many months or years.

The notification settings you showed for your device doesn't exist on iphone. I can add or edit notifications but I don't see a setting to allow the settings on the device (and all of the other options that accompanied that choice). How does one do that for iphone?

I have selected a specific sound on my iPhone 13 to play for my google calendar, but it is not playing the sound I selected! How can I match the sounds on my iPhone ipad and computer to be the SAME "SPELL" for the calendar notification?

[traceyhoerner]

I cannot get an audio notification or alert on my iPhone google calendar. Does the audio alert only work with the iPhone calendar?

[GregAutard]

I am still not getting any pop up notifications :( only the sound notification 10 minutes before an event, but not a pop up notification.

I went from a Samsung Galaxy (where I used to use my google calendrer and was able to set my personal notifications so that the SOUND repeated if I did not swipe on the event) to the Google Pixel Pro 8. I cannot figure out how to do the same on this new phone! So frustrating! HELP!!

I am getting notified only when I jump on to the tab where calendar is open

What if you're not a millennial and you still use a PC? I don't see these settings in Gmail on my Windows 11 PC.

I can't believe it has no dark mode, it's like looking into a light bulb

Don't ban people's comments, especially mine lol. It's nice to not.
