Reply to how to make a group call on duo by using the web/chrome version only?

Google Duo•4/9/2020

Since we are all hunkered down at home, it would be VERY helpful to be able to use duo group video calls from my PC. Any word on when that might be ready?

Reply to how do i strike-through a canceled event?

Google Calendar•7/25/2019

I am a freelancer, and so my calendar is full of individual appointments all day/everyday, for business and personal reasons. When an assignment cancels, I too need to keep the information, so here's what I do.

I have several calendars that I use as my categories, sort of like how one would highlight different types of activities in a paper date book. In Google you can create several calendars and view them simultaneously. My default calendar/category is labeled ToDo's, and others are Social, Important!, ProBono, and one for each of the companies that hire me. Each is assigned a unique color, (checking with my mobile to view that the colors do appear different there too). You could also do something like Work, School, Kids, Church, Volunteer, etc. I always create the calendars/categories from my PC. Here's how to create multiple calendars: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37095?hl=en
Make sure you check all categories as viewable from your calendar settings on your mobile. Initially I made the mistake of creating various calendars/categories, but couldn't see them on my smartphone. Then I found that I had to select them in settings.
NOW HERE'S THE PART THAT YOU WILL FIND HELPFUL.....I have an additional category called "cancelled" and made it GRAY so on that day I can ignore it. But should I need the information later it's still there. I works great. It takes 2 seconds to open the appointment for editing and switch it to "cancelled". If I create another appointment for the same time, it just appears next to the first one. (For business archiving I also note the date it was cancelled, and who informed me of it.)

Hope that helps!
