# Mastering the Unified Calendar in Cal ID
> Use the Cal ID Unified Calendar to view, create, edit, and join meetings across all of your connected Google and Outlook calendars in one single place.
The **Unified Calendar** is your central hub for managing every appointment in one place. It brings together all your connected Google and Outlook calendars so you can view, create, edit, and join meetings without switching between platforms.
## Getting started
* **Syncing appointments:** When you first enable calendar sync, Cal ID automatically pulls in all your meetings from the **past 30 days** and all upcoming meetings for the **next 90 days**.
* **Viewing options:** Toggle between **Day, Week, and Month** views using the buttons in the top right corner to suit your planning style.
* **Manage multiple calendars:** All your integrated Google and Outlook calendars appear in the left sidebar. Toggle them on or off to choose which events you want to see at any time.
* **Search for events:** Use the search bar at the top left of the calendar to quickly find specific meetings by name.
**Add new calendars:** Connect additional calendars directly by clicking the **"+ Add Calendar"** button in the top right corner.
Personalize your view by clicking the color circle next to a calendar's name to change its display color.
## Scheduling a new call
You can create a new booking directly from the calendar:
Click on any empty time slot on your calendar.
A pop-up window will appear. Fill in the following:
* **Event Title**: Name of your meeting.
* **Attendees**: Enter the email addresses of your participants.
* **Date & Time**: Confirm the start and end times.
* **Target Calendar**: Choose which connected calendar the event should be saved to.
* **Location**: Select your preferred conferencing tool (e.g., Google Meet).
* **Booking Note**: Add any optional details for the attendee.
Click **Create Booking**. The event will now appear on your calendar and be synced to your **Bookings** section.
## Managing existing bookings
You have full control over your scheduled meetings directly within the calendar view.
* **View details:** Click on any existing booking to open the **Event Details** panel, which shows the time, participants, and location.
* **Join meetings:** In the **Event Details** panel, simply click the **Join** button to enter your call immediately.
* **Reschedule via drag-and-drop:** Quickly reschedule a meeting by clicking and holding the booking, then dragging it to a new time slot. Once you drop it, the attendee automatically receives a rescheduling email.
* **Reschedule or cancel:** Alternatively, click the booking to open the details panel and select the **Reschedule** or **Cancel Booking** buttons.
Your attendees are always kept in the loop: Cal ID sends automatic emails whenever you reschedule or cancel a booking.
## Why use the Unified Calendar?
* **Centralized view:** See everything in one place, whether it was booked through your public Cal ID URL or added manually.
* **Effortless changes:** Manage meetings in seconds with simple drag-and-drop or one-click cancellation.
* **Stay updated:** Your attendees are always informed via automatic emails whenever you reschedule or cancel a booking.
