Google has announced a new Time Insights mode<\/a> for\u00a0its Calendar app that will show you how you spend your time, how many meetings you have, and who you spend most of your time working with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Time Insights will give you a close look at the information that will help you better understand your day. It will show you your time breakdown, which displays your working hours and the various types of meetings you have. It will also give you insight into the time you spend in meetings, highlighting days and times especially heavy on meetings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This feature will also highlight all your meetings involving a specific person if you hover over them in the Calendar app.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All this information will only be visible to you \u2014 your manager will not have access to these insights \u2014 unless you give someone \u201cmanage time sharing access\u201d permissions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Google<\/a> began rolling out the new Time Insights update to admins on August 30, and it plans to complete admin distribution within 15 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

End users on Google\u2019s Rapid Release track will start seeing Time Insights on September 6. Those on Google\u2019s Scheduled Release track will see the rollout\u00a0begin\u00a0on September 20. Google expects to complete end-user distribution within 15 days of the initial release.<\/p>\n

It will be visible on a computer only \u2014 the smartphone<\/a> app will not gain the new feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Google, Time Insights will be active by default, but admins can deactivate it at the domain\/OU level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
