Using Google Calendar on PC

Google Calendar is a continuous calendar where you keep track of all your appointments and use birthdays. Create multiple calendars if necessary. For example, you can create a calendar where you store all birthdays and a separate calendar for your volunteer work. Each calendar has its own color. This way you can see at a glance what you are dealing with. If you have several devices in addition to the PC, such as a smartphone or tablet, you have access to your agenda everywhere. In this article, we’ll discuss Google Calendar on PC.

Open Google Calendar like this:

• surf to Google Calendar.
• Sign in with your Google account if you need to.
