Description

Offsets start-times by default when adding a Google Calendar event, using a user-configured number of minutes.

Want to start all of your meetings at 5 minutes after the hour by default? That's what this extension does! It offsets start-times by default when adding a new event in the Google Calendar web UI, using an offset you configure (default 5 minutes). Works with the Speedy Meetings setting in Google Calendar too, so you can leave some room before and after your meeting. Back-to-back meetings are draining; give your attendees time to eat!

Installing: After adding the extension, you need to refresh your Google Calendar page in order for it to work

Works great, but doesn't align with my typical workflow. I run Google Calendar as a progressive web app, and the extension only works in the browser and not in the PWA (This is fixed now!). It also only works when clicking a time slot to create a new meeting, but not when creating from the +Create button or the C shortcut. I LOVE shortening meetings on the front end. It gives me a better breath of fresh air between meetings than ending 5 early (which, realistically, is usually ignored or forgotten)

Love love love this! Our standard in US Card is to start all meetings 5 or 10 minutes late, depending if it's a 25 minute or 50 minute meeting. This really helps make this easy. I have short meeting turned on and Google would end my meeting 5 minutes early but that was the opposite of what we do in Card so this is magic. Thank you!
