A safer alternative is to calculate availability privately and share only the conclusion. Presence is designed around that separation.

Minimize what leaves the account

Calendar availability can shape a status without putting event names, guests, descriptions, links, or notes into the shared view.

Combine the plan with reality

A calendar can say free during an unscheduled call. Supported live signals and manual choices can correct the broad answer without revealing the call.

Share differently with different audiences

Private links and authorized team views can carry more useful status context than public staff badges, while all remain intentionally broader than a calendar.

  1. Identify who needs an availability answer and what they actually need to know.
  2. Connect only the calendars and signals required to calculate that answer.
  3. Choose the narrowest appropriate shared view.
  4. Verify that private event and location details never appear.
Short answerShare whether you are available—not the calendar entries that explain why.
