But only some customers are getting the feature for blocking out distractions.
Google has added a ‘focus time’ event setting to Google Calendar that aims to help them block out distractions like video meetings. It’s a similar «event type» in Google Calendar as Out of Office and is marked in Calendar with a headphone icon. Focus time also lets users automatically decline conflicting events and, handily, also has a check box to «automatically decline meetings». That’s useful for all those workers out there who are fed up with online chats and video meetings since the pandemic began last March.
