How to hide events in Google Calendar The company I work for likes for us to use Outlook to schedule everything. If we aren't going to be at work at a specific time, they ask us to create an event spanning that time, and mark it as "Out Of Office". That way, if anyone attempts to schedule a meeting with you, or checks your schedule, it will inform them that you won't be there.

I am working part-time to fit a schedule around my school schedule; as a result, I have a lot of blocked off events on my calendar. Basically, all the times I'm in class are blocked off. I am syncing my Outlook and Google Calendar to my Android phone.

Now, all of those blocked off time slots are rather annoying to me because it causes everything else during those times to be scrunched up. It's hard to just look at my calendar on my phone and tell what is going on next. Basically, I want the "Out Of Office" events removed from my Android's Calendar display, without removing them from Outlook.

So far, I have tried to delete the event from my phone, but that syncs with Outlook, and causes it to be deleted from my Outlook account. I then tried to create a new calendar in Outlook called "Out Of Office" and add all of the events to that, then hide that on my phone. However, when I do that, it won't block people from scheduling meetings with me. I guess Outlook only uses your main calendar for that.

Hiding the whole calendar from my phone isn't really an option; I still need to see the other events on my phone, such as when I have to be in meetings.

Basically, my question is: How may I hide select events on my Outlook Calendar from my Android Calendar?
Propably this could give you a hint:

we have 3 accounts:


company@gmail.com
buddy1@gmail.com
buddy2@gmail.com


buddy1 and buddy2 added company@gmail.com's calendar as an external calendar (granted by company@gmail.com)


buddy1 adds an event and sets it as "Private" &amp; "Available" --> company &amp; buddy2 see nothing!
buddy1 adds an event and sets it as "Private" &amp; "Busy" --> company &amp; buddy2 see the appointment but can't read it's title or content, buddy1 of course can see his own appointment!
