Google Calendar busy times can now block bookings

PRO and SCALE studios can optionally prevent StudioDock bookings from overlapping busy events in their selected Google Calendar.

What changed

Studios can enable Google busy-time blocking from Settings after connecting and choosing a calendar. Busy periods then apply tenant-wide to Spaces, Sessions, public calendars, recovery, admin and Agent availability, while StudioDock continues sending confirmed bookings to Google as before.

What changed

Privacy and reliability

Only opaque start and end times are stored; Google event titles, guests, descriptions, and locations are not imported.
Availability refreshes every five minutes and is checked live before a public booking is accepted.
StudioDock-created events are verified and excluded so bookings do not block themselves.
Target changes, reconnects, disconnects, and plan downgrades turn inbound blocking off safely until it is enabled again.
