Better screen scaling for Google Calendar on large monitors
Google Calendar on the web now offers improved scaling on large, high-resolution monitors. This update provides a clearer overview of your day by reducing unnecessary whitespace and better utilizing your available screen space.
Previously, users with large or high-resolution monitors may have felt that it was difficult to get an overview of the day's most relevant events.
This update means:
- Better visibility: Calendar events will better fill the available space, giving more room to short meetings.
- Focused views: The grid will prioritize showing a relevant 12–15 hour range (such as 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM) based on your viewport height.
- Consistent experience: These improvements apply to both the main Calendar application and the side panel companion view in other Workspace apps (e.g. Gmail).
