Block time on multiple calendars

The lack of this feature is becoming a serious annoyance for me. Akiflow stops me from double-booking my time, but lack of cross calendar blocking means that others aren't stopped unless I manually block it out... which kinda defeats the whole purpose of having a central place to manage my time. The lack of this feature (and given the age of this request, an apparently lack of any desire to implement) is making me seriously reconsider my subscription as it's not solving the problems I have with time management.

James McCutcheon: Hi James, thanks for sharing this with us. We've been focusing on other features lately but we do like the idea of adding this feature.
Can you confirm that your colleagues book slots in your calendar using the meet with feature?

Stefania Hi Stefania. No, they don't, and this is the problem. I am not special; no one at my work or university or community organisation is going to book meetings in a totally different platform when they're all using whatever the organisation uses (mostly Outlook, some Google). Nor should I expect them to - work provides me with an M365 account and it's totally reasonable for them to expect me to use it for work related bookings.
The problem arises when a work colleague books time in my work Outlook calendar. That needs to sync up to Akiflow (and does, no problem there), but then the blockout needs to sync back to my university calendar, my personal calendar, my community calendar, otherwise these people won't know I'm already booked - they aren't seeing my Akiflow calendar like I do.
Stefania
James McCutcheon: all clear, thank you so much for sharing James!

I created a similar request for this... not sure where the link is but Akiflow team, please consolidate the upvotes so this gets prioritized :D

Stefania amazing! Any idea when we can expect this to be live? It would really be a game changer for me and my team
Stefania
Alexandra Chabaneix: We didn't plan this yet, but as soon as it is I'll let you know! Thanks Alexandra :)

absolutely crucial for me.
I run multiple calendars where people can book a meeting slot and want to avoid overbooking my time.
Stefania
Green Crown: Thank you so much for your feedback! We're considering this:)

If we can, I'd like to choose which calendars should be locked at the same time. Because I have some read only calendar to see in Akiflow.

This is a big ask for me actually.
Stefania
Nadim.khimaniz@gmail.com: Thanks Nadim, I'll let you know if we start working on this!

I'm consulting for several companies so I've linked in the calendars of each to one consolidated view + my personal calendars and I'd like to be able to shared my availability via a calendar subscription link so my colleagues can overlay my availability over their own in google/outlook as you can with an internal company calendar.

Yes, please! It'll help avoid being double booked.

This is a must for me

Hi Serena, you can share your calendars on Outlook or Google Calendar and see it in Akiflow under your calendars.
Plus, if you are in the same workspace (with your colleagues for example) you can already see their calendar using the meet with feature. Let me know what you think!

Stefania: Hey Stefania! Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I am looking to share my calendar with someone external to my workspace. I would like for them to be able to see all details of my calendar (so the availability function does not quite do the trick). Thanks!
