Choosing which calendars Roll Call reads

Most accounts hold several calendars. The picker under Calendar Sync decides which of them Roll Call reads when working out whether you are busy.

It appears once your first sync has run and found your calendars.

Choose your calendars

  1. Go to My Availability.
  2. Find Calendar Sync and your connected account.
  3. Tick every calendar that should count as busy time.

Changes save as you tick. There is no save button.

What to include

Include anything that would stop you playing: work, family, standing commitments, the calendar your partner shares with you.

Leave out calendars that never block your evenings. Public holiday feeds, birthday calendars, and subscribed sports fixtures create conflicts you would happily play through.

Getting it wrong

Too many calendars and Roll Call thinks you are busy when you are free, so your group gets fewer options. Too few and it books you over something real.

Both matter more with Auto-RSVP on, since nothing of yours is checked by hand.

The Roll Call calendar

Roll Call creates its own calendar in your account for your confirmed sessions. It is not in the list, because Roll Call does not read it: your sessions count as busy time whether or not a calendar is connected. See Sessions on your calendar.

A missing calendar

If a calendar you chose is deleted, Roll Call drops it and tells you.

Losing access to a shared calendar is different. It stays in the list, still ticked, and Roll Call names it on the connection and carries on using the times it last read from it. Untick it once you know the access is not coming back. See Fixing calendar sync problems.

Unticking everything

Unticking every calendar stops Roll Call reading them, and the events it had imported from them are removed on the next sync. Your availability then comes from your recurring availability, your time off and your sessions.

To disconnect the account altogether, remove the connection instead. If you use Auto-RSVP, disconnecting your last calendar turns it off, and your campaigns go back to awaiting your response.
