Calendar shows your events and lets you create them, move them, respond to invitations and find a time that works for a group. With Microsoft 365 connected, it shows your Outlook calendar. Without it, a company can run its own Whorl Calendar. See [Microsoft 365](/microsoft-365).

Calendar is in the sidebar.

## Look at your calendar

Switch between **Day**, **Week** and **Month**. **Today** returns to the current day, and **Previous** and **Next** move through time. The side panel shows what is **Up next**, or **In progress**.

To narrow what you see, use the **Response** filter (**All**, **Accepted**, **Tentative**, **Needs response**, **Declined**) and the **Calendar** filter (**All calendars** or one calendar). **Clear filters** shows everything again.

Keyboard shortcuts work when you are not typing: D, W and M for day, week and month, T for today and C for a new event.

## Create an event

Choose **New event**, or press C. Fill in:

- **Title**,
- **Start time** and **End time**, or **All day**,
- **Add people or email**, which can also be someone outside your company,
- **Add location**, and **Rooms** when your calendar offers them,
- **Online meeting**, and
- **Description**.

Choose **Create**. If an end comes before a start, or a person's email is not valid, Whorl says so before it saves.

### Online meeting

**Online meeting** has up to three choices:

- **Whorl meeting** is a link to a Whorl call. Depending on your company's setting, anyone invited from your company joins from the link, or invited guests wait in the lobby.
- **Microsoft Teams** adds a Teams link to the Outlook event.
- **No meeting**.

See [Huddles and meetings](/huddles) for what happens when people join.

## Check availability

When you add people, Calendar shows whether they are free. A row can read **All free** (**Everyone can make it**), **See times** or **You're busy**. **More times** shows other options, and **Pick a time that works for the group** lists suggestions. For people outside your organization, Whorl says **Availability not visible outside your organization**.

## Move or change an event

Drag an event to a new time to move it. Whorl tells you if it could not: **Couldn't move event** means Outlook refused, and the event goes back to its original time. **Move not confirmed** means Whorl could not tell, so check Outlook before moving it again. See [Microsoft 365](/microsoft-365#write-results).

Open an event for **Edit event**, **Cancel event** or **Join meeting**. If you leave an event half-edited, Whorl asks **Discard your changes?**

## Respond to an invitation

Open the event and choose **Accept**, **Tentatively accept** or **Decline**. Add a comment if you like, then **Send response**. When your calendar is the Whorl Calendar, invitations arrive in [Activity](/activity).
