⚡️ Quick Answer
Stay up-to-date with all the events happening at WatersAbove™ Platform from official meetings with WatersAbove™ to those hosted my Moderator Clementine To do this you can add our public Google Calendar to your Google Calendar or Apple Calendar (iCal). Updates sync automatically and I'll drop some tips for those in timezones outside the Primary Eastern Standard Time.
🔑 Setup for Success
• This calendar does not automatically synch from your WatersAbove™ Platform Account, so you choose which email you'd like to use. It does not need to be the same email as your Account with the Platform.
• These meetings will never be hosted in Google Meet, and by RSVPing on the external Calendar, it will not automatically RSVP you to the Event inside the platform.
• There may be restrictions on if the calendar 'Notifications' work, this is not controlled from our end. So you may need to manually set your own reminder notifications.
✅ Step-by-Step
Step 1: Add to Your Google Calendar Open the Calendar Link
This opens our public calendar in your browser.
Sign into your Google Account if prompted
Add to Your Google Calendar:
It should prompt you in a pop-up to Add to Calendar
Our calendar "WatersAbove™ University" appears under Other calendars in your Google Calendar (web, iOS, Android).
Events and updates sync instantly. Toggle it on/off as needed.
Access Google Calendar with a Google account (for personal use) or Google Workspace account (for business use).
Step 2: Customize Notifications Go into the Settings of the WatersAbove™ Calendar to personalize notifications to your preference. This is NOT replacing the notifications we will send out via Discord and Email. You can add customized notifications based on how often, when you want to be reminded about upcoming meetings.
Step 3: Customize Timezone Set Your Timezone: In Google Calendar, go to Settings > Time zone and select your primary timezone (e.g., “America/Los_Angeles” or “Europe/London”). Our events adjust automatically. Show Multiple Timezones: In Settings > Time zone, check “Display secondary time zone” and pick ours (e.g., “America/New_York/EST”) to see event times in both zones side-by-side.
Mobile App: Tap Menu > Settings > General > Use device’s time zone to ensure events match your location, or set a fixed zone manually.
