 Answers to the questions people ask most. If yours isn't here, write to **hello@meetingwarning.app** and a person will reply, usually within a working day.

## Getting started

### Connect Google Calendar

 Open MeetingWarning's Settings and click **Connect Google account…**. Your browser opens Google's sign-in: choose your account and allow MeetingWarning to see your calendars. When the tab says "Connected", you can close it. Add more accounts the same way.

### Use iCloud, Outlook, Exchange or other calendars

 In Settings, turn on **Use calendars from the Calendar app** and allow access when macOS asks. MeetingWarning then sees every account in System Settings → Internet Accounts: iCloud, Microsoft 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Fastmail and other CalDAV calendars. If you clicked Don't Allow, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars and turn MeetingWarning on.

### Choose which calendars count

 Your main calendar is on by default. Shared, team and subscribed calendars are off until you switch them on in Settings.

## The menu bar icon

### I can't see the icon

 On MacBooks with a notch, macOS hides menu bar icons that don't fit. Quit a menu bar app you don't need, or hold **⌘** and drag other icons to make room. Check System Settings → Menu Bar too. You can always open Settings by launching MeetingWarning again from Spotlight or Launchpad.

### What the menu shows

 Your next meeting with a Join button, then today's and tomorrow's meetings. A yellow sign means the full-screen alert will show. A grey sign means it won't, and the reason is shown next to it.

## Alerts

### A meeting didn't alert

 - Check its row in the menu. The reason is shown next to the meeting, for example "no call link" or "declined".
 - Hover the meeting and choose **Alert me anyway** to get that one regardless of your rules.
 - Make sure its calendar is switched on in Settings, and that MeetingWarning isn't paused.

### Change how early the alert shows

 Settings → Alert → Show: when the meeting starts, 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes before, or Custom for any time up to an hour.

### Keyboard shortcuts on the alert

 **Return** joins the call, **Esc** dismisses the alert. Snooze brings it back in a minute.

## Privacy and access

 MeetingWarning reads your calendars and nothing else, and the access is read-only. Calendar data stays on your Mac. To remove Google access, click **Disconnect** next to the account in Settings. Details are in the [privacy policy](https://meetingwarning.app/privacy).

## Buying and refunds

 MeetingWarning is sold through the Mac App Store, so Apple handles payments and refunds. To ask for a refund, go to [reportaproblem.apple.com](https://reportaproblem.apple.com).
