# Calendars & Workspace Integration

Workspaces control how calendars connect to Motion and how availability is shared across the team. Each member can link their own external calendars (Google, Outlook, iCloud), but calendar visibility and scheduling behavior are scoped to the workspace.

**Behavior**

* **Per-member connections** → Each workspace member connects their own external calendars. Motion never shares calendars across members automatically.
* **Workspace visibility** → You can choose which of your connected calendars affect scheduling in the workspace (e.g., personal vs. work calendars).
* **Scheduling impact** → Busy events from connected calendars block time in Motion, ensuring tasks and projects are scheduled only in open slots.
* **Frequently Met With calendars** → Workspaces can also surface colleagues’ availability (read-only) for planning, without requiring full calendar access.
* **Event sync** → Events sync bi-directionally, meaning changes in Motion reflect in your external calendar and vice versa.

**Why it matters**\
Calendars determine availability across the workspace. By controlling which calendars connect and how they’re shared, you can keep scheduling accurate without overexposing personal or irrelevant events.
