Customizing event preferences on your Zoho Calendar

Event Settings

In Zoho Calendar, you can set default event settings which will be applied across your calendar. 

Event Duration

You can set Default Event Duration which will be reflected in the event creation form across all your calendars. The chosen time duration will be set by default when you create an event. The duration can be changed by clicking the time field and picking the desired time for the event.

Steps to Set Default Event Duration

  1. Log in to Zoho Calendar.
  2. Go to Settings > Calendar > Event Settings.
  3. Click the drop-down menu under the Default event duration and pick the desired time duration.

Participant Permissions

Participant permissions help the host of an event to limit the participant access to view, edit, delete or add participants to the event. You can set a default option in your calendar settings and that will be reflected when you create an event across any calendar. You can change your preference in the create event form when you want to change the participant permission. Learn more.

Steps to Set Default Participant Permissions

  1. Log in to Zoho Calendar.
  2. Go to Settings > Calendar > Event Settings.
  3. Click on the drop down under Participant permission and select your preferred permission from the options listed.
