Change to the view of rooms in Google Calendar events

January 6, 2020

Google has made a change to where you can find rooms and resources in a Google Calendar event. When looking to see what rooms or resources you have booked for an event, you’ll now see this information within the guest list and no longer in the location field.

This change prevents duplication of the room or resource in your event and allows you to clarify the geographic address of the event in the location field, giving your guests a clearer understanding of where they should be.

Note: If you wish to see an event location as part of your calendar view summary, you must add it manually to the location field.

According to Google, this feature should begin showing up in U-M Google on January 6 and could take 15 days or longer to become fully visible.
