The speaker can be turned up and down by tapping on its right and left sides respectively. Another useful introduction is the capability to use multiple devices as an intercom system. This means that answers are personalised for a better user experience. It can also be programmed to recognise different voices. It’s the same shape and size as a doughnut, which is handy as there’s never much room on my desk. The Google Home Mini is pretty much the same as its bigger relative with the obvious exception of its appearance. Thankfully, this is no longer a problem as I recently received a Google Home Mini to review. This is great for the family, but there have been times when I could have done with it in my office.įor example, I often need to check facts as I’m writing and lose focus if I have to flick between tabs on my screen. These include checking the weather forecast before the school run and keeping the kids entertained.Īs a result it has set up permanent residence downstairs. We use it every day for a variety of things.
#GOOGLE MINI DIARY ANDROID#
If there are any good Android apps that can add calendars from different providers let me know, that would probably work just as well but I didn’t really need to look after putting this workaround together.Our Google Home Assistant is easily the best bit of tech added to our house this year. This solutions feels a little bit clunky but it is good enough for me, and there doesn’t seem to be a good work around for sharing the Office 365 calendar with Google. If you create a work calendar in Google Calendars and import the ICS there, it will probably be a lot more manageable. Basically, you will have to manually delete the items that were imported from the ICS file if you want to get rid of them permanently.
NOTE: If you add the calendar using the ICS import method, you will not have any way to delete “unmerge” the calendars. The sync can sometimes take a few minutes, so if they don’t show up right away just wait a bit (or sync them manually) and if you created a new calendar you might need to turn it on. And after adding the calendar in Google you should see all of the events pop up and if you look at your calendar on your phone, the events should be present. Using either the ICS web link or importing the calendar using the ICS file should work. Note again that the HTML version of the URL won’t work. Pull open the settings in Google Calendar and either use the Import & Export feature to upload the ICS file generated above or add the ICS URL to the shared calendar using the Add Calendar -> From URL option. Now you can import the ICS calendar on the Google Calendar side of things. I did have some trouble when I was playing around with the HTML version, which turns out is because Google doesn’t cooperate with HTML calendars, only ICS. It turns out that only the ICS link will work on the Google Calendar side of things. Once those options have been chosen, you can save and a link will be generated for both the HTML and ICS versions of the calendar. From here you can find Shared Calendars -> Publish Calendars settings.įrom here you can select which Office 365 calendar you’d like to publish and also the permissions to share. This should open a navigation menu on the left with more options. The setting to export the calendar is completely buried in the O365 web app but can be located by navigating to Settings -> Your app settings -> Calendar The first step is to publish/export the calendar on the Office 365 side of things. My opinion is probably also skewed, due to the fact that I haven’t used any of the Microsoft Office online offerings for a while now. Office 365 is a good product, there are just certain things that are needlessly confusing and complicated as well as a few things that could just work better out of the box. Since I started using Office 365 I have found a number of small annoyances, and this post servers to illustrate a good example of one. The main motivation for doing this is so that I can sync all of my calendars to my (Android phone), so that when I’m away from the computer I can easily see what is on both my personal schedule as well as the work calendar. Likewise, the information on the web turned out to be equally painful. I ran into a scenario recently where I wanted to be able to combine both my work (Office 365) and personal (Google Calendar) calendars, which I found to be a really painful process.
