en 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.

en This used to be amazing, but something broke recently where when you create an event, instead of seeing a modal to create an event, it goes straight to event editing screen, and somehow sets 1 hr events. I had to disable this amazing extension. Please fix it and bring it back!

en 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)

en 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!

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

en 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.
