Google Calendar updates from August 2021

Google Calendar introduces Time Insights to help users analyze how their time is spent in meetings.
Time Insights in Google Calendar provides a personalized, analytical experience on the web that allows users to see a breakdown of their time spent in meetings, identify meeting-heavy days, and see which collaborators they spend the most time with. This data is private to the user and helps in better planning and priority assessment.

Users can now indicate their working location directly on their Google Calendar.
Starting August 30, 2021, Google Calendar users can set a weekly working location routine (such as working from home or the office) to help colleagues plan in-person collaboration in hybrid workplaces. Anyone with free/busy access to the user's calendar can view these locations, and the feature can be managed by admins at the domain or organizational unit level.
