Template based calendar events with graphic enrichment are provided. In some examples, upon receiving a request to create a calendar event, an event creation prompt may be presented. The prompt may include an event template selection element comprising visual aids, such as icons or emojis, that each represent different event templates for selection. Upon receiving a visual aid selection, information associated with the user requesting the calendar event may be retrieved based on the selected visual aid to infer one or more aspects of the requested event such as title, timing, and location. A suggested event with the inferred aspects may be presented to the user and upon receiving confirmation and/or modification, the suggested or modified event may be added to the user's calendar. Some events may be presented with a visual background such as an image or graphics on the calendar for prompt recognition.

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable media that reserve remote meeting resources and update meetings with remote meeting connection information in response to a user indicating an availability status that signifies that the user is away from a location of the meeting. In response to this indication, the system interfaces with the user's calendar and searches for in-person meetings for the period in which the user is out of the office. For in-person meetings that are found, the system may automatically schedule remote meeting resources for a remote meeting session and update in-person meetings with remote meeting connection information.
