It shows you each calendar laid out horizontally, one above the next, so you can see at a glance when different members of your team are available or busy. The default view is hours and minutes (2h 45m), but you can also choose to display as decimal hours (2.75 hours) if that makes more sense to you.

Google Calendar has almost every view style you might need as an individual user, from Schedule to Year, but it can\u2019t clearly lay out multiple team members&#8217; calendars all at once. Some run several hours and an extra half hour, or several hours and 45 minutes, and it\u2019s nice to see at a glance exactly how long they are.
