Better visualize shorter meetings in Google Calendar

Events fewer than 25 minutes will now better reflect the true duration of the event, occupying less space in your daily view. This change will also show in the printed version of your calendar.

Previously, these shorter events were displayed the same as 30-minute events. With this update, we hope to make your schedule easier to understand and manage.

This feature is ON by default and can be disabled in your account settings under View options: “Display shorter events the same size as 30-minute events.” To maintain clear legibility of characters, this is OFF by default for accounts in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
