Setting up your Google Home device includes linking it to your Google account and your Google calendar. If you have multiple Google accounts, use the one where you keep your primary calendar. Then, turn on Personal results.

Move the slider to the right to turn on Personal results. If you don't want to use this feature, move the slider to the left, but that action turns off all personal results, not only your calendar. If multiple people use the same Google Home device, everyone needs to set up a voice match so that the device can recognize who's who.

The primary user can invite others to set up voice matches after multiuser mode is enabled in settings using the Google Home app. Also in the app settings is an option to hear events from shared calendars by enabling Personal results using the instructions above. If you have more than one Google Home device, repeat these steps for each one.

You can also add items to your Google calendar from other enabled devices and access them with Google Assistant. To add an event, say, "OK Google" or "Hey Google." Here are examples of how you can phrase this command: "Hey Google, add a doctor appointment to my calendar.""OK Google, schedule a concert for me on Friday at 7 pm.""OK Google, add an event called Jenny's surprise party." The Google Assistant uses contextual clues from what you say to determine the other information it needs to complete the scheduling for an event.

If you don't specify all the information in your command, the Assistant asks you for the title, date, and start time. Events created by Google Assistant have the default length you set in your Google Calendar unless you specify otherwise.

To ask for event information, use the Google Assistant wake command and then ask about specific appointments or see what's happening on a particular day. For example: "OK Google, when/what/where is my first event/meeting?""OK Google, when/what/where is my next event/meeting/agenda/calendar?""OK Google, list all events for April 1.""Hey Google, what's my agenda for today?""Hey Google, what's on my calendar for Friday?" For those last two commands, the Assistant reads your first three appointments of the day.
