# Google Calendar ## How it works With Google Synchronization, you can sync your appointment schedule with Google Calendar. Each appointment booked will be added to your Google Calendar with the student added as a participant. For Virtual Sessions this will also automatically create a Google Meet session and invite the student. Any times marked as busy on your Google Calendar will show as unavailable to students for scheduling, even if you've set it as available in your availability settings in the `Tutor Dashboard`. You can select which calendar you would like to be synced after you have linked your Google account. ### Important note about rescheduling Rescheduling, canceling, or deleting appointments **MUST** be done in the `Tutor Dashboard`. Changes made to appointments directly in Google Calendar ***are not*** reflected in the Tutor Dashboard. So if you do need to change an appointment, use the Tutor Dashboard. Changes made to appointments in the `Tutor Dashboard` will sync back to Google Calendar. ## Linking your Google Calendar ### Step 1 Go to `My Profile` in the `Tutor Dashboard`
