Connecting a calendar is a great way to keep your audience informed about upcoming events. With the Calendar Component, you can sync and display one or more calendars from Google or Outlook.

How to Add a Calendar to a Presentation

  1. Log in to your Rise Vision account and open the Presentation you want to edit.
  2. Click on Add Component and select Calendar.
  3. In the properties panel on the right, click Connect.
  4. Choose your provider: Google or Outlook. 

  1. Follow the prompts to log in to your account and authorize Rise Vision to access your calendar data.
  2. Once connected, you will see a list of available calendars. Check the box next to every calendar you want to show. You can select just one or multiple calendars to merge them into a single view. 
  3. Click Save.

Customize Your Calendar

Adjust the layout

You can choose between different views like Agenda, Monthly, or Weekly in the component settings. This helps you fit the right amount of information on your screen.

Styling and colors

Use the Appearance settings to change fonts, background colors, and text sizes so the calendar matches your brand.
