What to Know Before Using
Time zones use device settings.The event saves in the user's local time zone. For virtual events with specific times, include the time zone in the title or description.
End time is optional but recommended.Events without end times show as all-day in some calendars. Always include end time for proper scheduling and reminders.
Location links work best as URLs.For video calls, paste the full Zoom/Teams link. For physical locations, use the address. Some calendars turn addresses into map links.
Recurring events aren't supported.This creates single events. For recurring meetings, create separate QR codes for each occurrence or use a calendar subscription link.
Pro tip: Include a backup link in the description. "Join: zoom.us/j/123456789" ensures attendees can access even if the location field doesn't create a clickable link.
