Google Calendar: Change the Default View

If you’re constantly selecting a different view of your calendar instead of using the default, then you should change the default view to one that better suits your needs. That way, you’ll always see what you want each time you view your calendar.


1. Go to Google Calendar.

2. Click the Settings link in the upper right corner of the page.

3. In the General tab, use the Default view dropdown to select the desired view. Choices are: Day, Week, Month, Custom View and Agenda.

If you select Custom View, use the Custom View dropdown to select the desired value (choices are Next 2 Days thru Next 7 Days, Next 2, 3 or 4 weeks).

4. Click the Save button.

    Nice trick! A side benefit appears to be that Android phones (including my Nexus One) that automatically sync with google calendar seem to switch their default calendar view to whatever you set it to in google calendars! Nice!
