Introduction
If you're someone who relies heavily on Google Calendar to manage your schedule, you might have noticed that it lacks a certain visual element. While Google Calendar allows you to add event titles, descriptions, and locations, it doesn't give you the option to add images to events. However, there is a way to work around this limitation.
Step 1: Creating an Event
The first step to adding a picture to a Google Calendar event is to create the event. This can be done by clicking on a specific date and time on the calendar, or by clicking on the "Create" button in the top left corner of the screen.
Step 2: Adding an Image
Once you've created the event, you'll need to add an image. Unfortunately, Google Calendar doesn't give you the option to add an image directly to the event. However, there are a few workarounds you can use to add an image.
Step 3: Uploading the Image to Google Drive
The first workaround is to upload the image you want to use to Google Drive. Once you've uploaded the image, you can then insert it into the event description using the Google Drive integration in Google Calendar. To do this, click on the event you want to add the image to, click on the "Edit Event" button, and then click on the "Add Attachment" button. From there, you can select the image you uploaded to Google Drive and insert it into the event.
Step 4: Using a Third-Party Service
If you don't want to use Google Drive to add an image to your event, you can use a third-party service like Eventable. Eventable allows you to create events with images and then add them to your Google Calendar. To do this, create an event on Eventable with the image you want to use, and then click on the "Add to Calendar" button. From there, you can select Google Calendar and add the event with the image to your calendar.
Step 5: Syncing with Another Calendar App
If you're using a different calendar app that allows you to add images to events, you can sync that calendar with Google Calendar. This will allow you to add images to events using the other app and then see them in Google Calendar. To do this, go to the settings in the other calendar app and look for an option to sync with Google Calendar.
Conclusion
While Google Calendar doesn't allow you to add images to events directly, there are a few workarounds you can use to add images. By uploading images to Google Drive, using a third-party service like Eventable, or syncing with another calendar app, you can add a visual element to your events and make your schedule more engaging and informative.
