The THS calendar automatically shows everyone as unavailable- white for all dates.

It only shows available - green - if you go in and add your available dates.

However, without a key explaining what the colours represent, even if you add your availability, hosts may still send invitations for dates you’re not available.

A more user-friendly calendar—such as one that includes a clear key or legend—has been requested for a long time.

@Jenny can you ask the team about this ? Ben did say the product team was looking into improving the calendar - that was in 2021 !!
