Google Calendar - How to Set the Default Event Length

In the calendar settings, you can set the default event length.  This is useful if you are constantly changing your meetings/events to the same length - and it is not the default length pre-set.

One note - if you are in a view that displays more than 1 week, the default is full day event.  This default event length will only work in the day view or the week view.


(Here is a video on how to set the default event length if you prefer.)

To set this, first go to Calendar Settings (the gear) - 


Choose Settings -

On the right side, select Event settings -

Look for the default duration, this is at the top of the event settings -

Choose the length of time that you want to be the default (the one you use the most...) -
