Certainly you’ve been swiping through your Gmail or Facebook inboxes for the past few hours and noticed that all these notifications have shown up on websites, but did you know that you can also snooze these messages? Google Calendar notifications are set to show up in Chrome, providing a helpful little red button to shut a notification or snooze it for later. Explore this lesser known feature here.
How to snooze Google Calendar on your computer
Snoozing future calendar events is an important feature for effective time management. Often, you need to push back the due dates so that you can fully prepare and make sure you have no regrets. There are two methods: one is booking a specific time slot in subsequent days so that it won’t appear on your computer’s notification window, and the other is a snooze function.
How to snooze Google Calendar notifications from the Chrome browser
Being annoyed by Google Calendar notifications in the Chrome browser is an experience that many web users might have faced. To solve this problem, the best solution is to snooze them. One way to do that when there are several of those living on your computer is to simply close them all on one side of the screen at once and then open them back when they need it again. For example, if four Google Calendar notifications (one from each day) , appear at different parts of your screen, you can close all calendar reminders for today, last night, Monday, and Tuesday together and then reopen only the calendar for Wednesday when your reminder sounds.
How do Chromecast and Assistant integration change snoozing
Google Calendar notifications in Chrome are an incredibly convenient feature. But, lately, I have noticed that when certain Chromecast connected apps ping me to show that event important information, if I snooze they usually snooze until the day the notification goes off again and not just until the next morning.
Snoozing a notification before it is actually sent
No matter how busy a day, you can always catch up on your work schedule. Did you know that Gmail has a feature that allows for sending email notifications to be sent at times of your choosing? This doesn’t just apply to emails. Google Calendar also provides updates and reminders to users within the Google Chrome browser. What if you want to rest easy for a few minutes before actually opening the browser and taking care of things that need to be done? That is where notification snoozing comes in and Google will send these snooze notifications when you exit or close the Internet browser app. You should even tailor it by time and frequency when using this particular feature.
Google has just announced that it released a Chrome extension for Google Calendar. This extension enables you to get any event on your google calendar into an alert that you can dismiss or snooze with a push of a button. There are two ways to snooze events: either by setting the next alert to be at 9, 11, or 2 am, or by scheduling a specific amount of time if you want Gmail notifications to stop when the event ends.
Customizing how long you wait between snoozes
There are two advantages to taking a nap while looking at your computer screen in bright, natural light conditions. First of all, less time is spent on your work and more time is spent on leisurely activities outside the office. Secondly, you can rest your tired eyes and still keep track of what’s happening next door. On the other hand, sleeping during short office hours might result in conflict with others and wasted time when trying to complete tasks you thought were long overdue. This is where Google Chrome’s new feature comes into play – The snooze button. You might still finding yourself alone but now you’ll die peacefully in your sleep without missing anything that’s going on in this millennial world!
Conclusion
Some people choose to disable the notifications from their Google Calendar when they are working, but only want to be notified when classes are starting or if anything important has gone on during the day. To do this, users will first need to go into the extension’s settings and turn off notifications for calendar events. After that is done, it is possible to navigate back over to their calendar in Chrome and change notifications time by time.
