Offset start-times in Google Calendar
Description from store

Want to start all of your meetings at 5 minutes after the hour by default? That's what this extension does! It offsets start-times by default when adding a new event in the Google Calendar web UI, using an offset you configure (default 5 minutes). Works with the Speedy Meetings setting in Google Calendar too, so you can leave some room before and after your meeting. Back-to-back meetings are draining; give your attendees time to eat!

Installing: After adding the extension, you need to refresh your Google Calendar page in order for it to work

I added this extension and all it does is adjust the meeting duration from 30 to 25min and takes the 5min off the end time, not the start time. Ex: meeting start 2pm, meeting end 225pm instead of meeting start 2:05pm, meeting end 2:30pm.

I added this extension about week ago and it worked great and then I recently updated to the latest version of Chrome (140.0.7339.132) and it stopped working. I assume it's an conflict with this latest version of Chrome.

Hi, I tried to use the extension, but it doesn't work, is there any step I missed?

Works great when creating a meeting directly Gcal, but unfortunately doesn't work when you create a meeting from the sidebar in Gmail. Would love if that feature could be added.

Hi Team, I have an issue regarding the extension. I did couple of testes on three deferent laptops and found the extension "Offset start-times in Google Calendar " is causing the error specially with OOO option and it might not synced with latest Chrome version.

Works great, but doesn't align with my typical workflow. I run Google Calendar as a progressive web app, and the extension only works in the browser and not in the PWA (This is fixed now!). It also only works when clicking a time slot to create a new meeting, but not when creating from the +Create button or the C shortcut. I LOVE shortening meetings on the front end. It gives me a better breath of fresh air between meetings than ending 5 early (which, realistically, is usually ignored or forgotten)

Love love love this! Our standard in US Card is to start all meetings 5 or 10 minutes late, depending if it's a 25 minute or 50 minute meeting. This really helps make this easy. I have short meeting turned on and Google would end my meeting 5 minutes early but that was the opposite of what we do in Card so this is magic. Thank you!

Simple and effective. My team has agreed to start meetings 5 mins past the hour/half-hour. This extension makes life so much easier.

Simple and awesome (simply awesome). Combine it with the "Speedy Meetings" setting in Google Calendar and you have an awesome helper for meeting-packed schedules.

I like the idea of starting meetings 5 minutes after the hour, because it's very hard to end meetings 5 minutes before the hour. This extension works as described, but I decided to remove it. It starts my meeting at 2:05 like I want, but then the meeting ends at 3:05, and I want it to end at 3:00. So I still need to manually adjust my meeting length/times.

Perfect! Wish Google had this option by default but this is the next best thing.
