Why is Meetings page (which was Schedule Events) now called Calendar?

I couldn’t find the new Meetings page until I realised it has suddenly been renamed Calendar.

The page used to be called Scheduled Events, which made sense because you can create events in Calendly that aren’t meetings. Then it became Meetings, which I accepted because that’s probably how most people use Calendly. But now it’s called Calendar. Why?

This page is simply a list of the meetings and events my contacts have scheduled using Calendly. My calendar is synced with Calendly, but this isn’t my calendar.

Perhaps you intend for the Meetings tab within Contacts to replace the old Meetings page. If that’s the case, I’d gently point out that the Meetings tab is still missing some essential functionality that the previous page had—examples have already been discussed on this thread and in my post here.

If the broader vision is still evolving, that’s all the more reason to wait before renaming the page. Calling it Calendar now feels premature, because there’s nothing about the page yet that justifies the new name.

From a user’s perspective, it feels like fundamental conceptual changes are being made to Calendly without any notification or explanation.

If there are further changes planned that will make this direction clearer, please tell us. Setting expectations would go a long way. These frequent interface changes take time to adapt to, and the lack of communication is becoming frustrating and alienating.

Hi Emily, thanks for the thoughtful writeup — and we’re sorry for the friction this caused.

The rename is part of a broader navigation and settings refresh we've been rolling out since May, aimed at cleaning up a nav that's gotten more cluttered as Calendly has grown. As part of that, a few pages got new names: Meetings → Calendar, Recaps → Notetaker, Workflows → Automations. Nothing was removed or restructured functionally — it's the same page, just renamed and slotted into a clearer overall structure.

That said, your critique about the name itself is fair, and you're not the only one who's flagged that "Calendar" feels too broad. That's genuinely useful feedback and I've made sure it's visible to the team shaping this.

A bit of context on the direction: the intent behind the evolution of this page has been to move beyond a simple Scheduled Events list toward a more unified place to view and manage meetings. As part of the refreshed experience, we began showing connected calendar events alongside Calendly meetings to give a fuller picture of what’s happening in one place, and the broader product direction has been to unify Calendly-scheduled and externally scheduled meetings in a single surface. This page will continue to evolve into a more more calendar-like experience. But thanks for the feedback that this feels too premature.

Also, regarding “Perhaps you intend for the Meetings tab within Contacts to replace the old Meetings page. “ ... the Meetings tab inside Contacts is a separate surface and isn't intended to replace this page. That tab is oriented on meetings with a single person, whereas the Calendar (former “Meetings”) page is all events on a user’s synced calendar, whether or not it’s a Calendly scheduled event. Fair point on how that could be unclear or confusing, thanks for calling this out.

On the missing functionality front — the total results count you and others called out is already being worked on as a fast-follow improvement; the team's been scoping the design for it. I don't have a firm ship date yet, but it something the team is working on thanks to feedback we’ve gotten!

You’re also right to call out the communication gap. Even when the product direction is evolving, changes to core navigation and concepts should come with better explanation so customers aren’t left guessing at what changed or why. We had a banner and a help center page, but there’s definitely an opportunity for more proactive communication about why we’re making these changes.

Appreciate you taking the time to write this up in detail — it genuinely helps.
