Feature: Notification before event ending

[yarsanich]

I was wondering how it would be nice to have a reminder that says "5 minutes left from [Event name]". I think it may prevent us from extended meetings.

Notification could be the same as before the meeting. And it would be nice to have a configurable time range - when notification will be delivered (E.G 1 min, 5 min, 10 min before meeting end)

My use case: time blocking technique. I have time blocks in my schedule for deep work and I would like to get notified before the time block ends. It's kinda not related to meetings, but I think it may be useful for others too.

Thanks @yarsanich - nice feature request. Still thinking about this.

Even more I could imagine that we could give organisers of the event the possibility to extend the meeting for 5, 10 or 15 minutes... WDYT @leits and @yarsanich ?

@jgoldhammer extending event's would be nice addition to it I agree.

I am still working on having notifications for ending events.

Extending in the calendar should technically work. Currently we have a readonly access.
Do we want that to include that into Meetingbar, @leits ?

I am interested in this as well. I am guilty of running meetings beyond its end time. If there is an alert 5 mins or 2 mins before scheduled end time, it would be great reminder to stick to the ending time.

Amazing tool, by the way!

Agreed, very important one. Even no need for an option to auto extend the meeting.

Point is - meetings that take longer than planned are a huge time waste. Some kind of a notification (either system notif. or a full screen - depending on user's decision/configuration) would be absolutely GREAT improvement and a massive productivity gain.
