How to Set a Default Reminder Time for Google Calendar Events

Tired of manually adding reminders to every new event?

Save time by setting up default reminders that will be automatically applied to all future events you create.

Steps to Set Default Event Reminders:

1. Open Your Calendar Homepage
   Go to your main calendar view where your events are displayed.

2. Access Calendar Settings
   Click the gear icon in the top right corner and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

3. Choose Your Calendar
   In the left-hand menu, under "Settings for my calendars," click on the name of the calendar you'd like to update.

4. Add Event Notifications
   Scroll down to the "Event notifications" section and click Add notification.

5. Set Your Reminder Time(s)
   Choose how long before an event you'd like to be reminded (e.g., minutes, hours, or days).
   You can add multiple reminders - for example, 10 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day before the event.

Once set, these reminders will automatically apply to every new event you create on that calendar - no extra steps needed!
