Google Calendar - Hide/Show Calendar in List

Image
If you are like me, you have MANY calendars to deal with.  You also may have many shared calendars from other people.  It is an easy thing to control which calendars appear in your list on the left side the calendar - so you only see the calendars needed right now.   Here is a video on how to hide or show calendars from the list, if you prefer. First, how to hide a calendar. 1 - click on the "More menu" (3 vertical dots) to the right of the name of the calendar you wish to hide: 2 - in the menu that pops-up, select Hide from list: That's it! The calendar will not show up in your list anymore: Second, how to add a calendar back to that list - 1 - click on the More menu and choose the Settings and sharing option for any calendar: 2. When list of calendars appear, any that have been hidden will have an eyeball icon with a slash through it.  Click on that icon to have a calendar show back up:

Google Calendar - Hide/Show Calendar Events

Your calendar can quickly become cluttered if you have a variety of calendars - both your own and those shared with you.  It is very easy to have access to calendars, yet have the events on those calendars only showing when you WANT them to. Here is a video on how to hide or show a calendar if you prefer. On the left side where your calendar list is, notice the colored boxes: Those that are filled in are the calendars you are viewing.  Those that are empty are those you have access to, but the events are hidden. At any time, you can click on the colored box to either hide or show the events for that calendar.  In the example here I am clicking the calendars "off" to hide the events: Clicking on the box again will fill it, and display the events for that calendar along with your other calendars you are viewing.

Google Slides - You Can Now Skip Slides!

I have several slideshows that I use for different audiences.  In the past, I've had to copy one in order to remove a few slides so that the presentation matched the current audience makeup.  No more!  A feature I've long been waiting for is finally here - the ability to skip a slide. You can do this two different ways.  Method 1: Go to the Slide Menu and select Skip slide Method 2: Right-click on a slide and select Skip slide An icon of a closed eye will display on the slide so you know that it will be skipped when playing your slideshow -
