hours spent on calls per week, in the hope that users could gain better insights into their working patterns to prioritize work more efficiently.

Now, Google is allowing users to customize their experience with support for event names and colour schemes, which could help workers to understand which projects each meeting belongs to.

General availability for Rapid Release domains is underway now, however it could take more than 15 days for some users to get access to the feature. Scheduled Release domains (this is the default setting for most accounts) are set to get the feature from August 30 2022.

In order to create a color label, users will need to navigate to Time breakdown > select By color > click on Add a Label . Time Insights can then
be viewed by clicking on Time insights in the left side panel > clicking on More insights . Read more
