Google Calendar invites will let you specify physical, virtual attendance

Google Calendar meeting invites will soon let you specify if you are attending the event physically or virtually.

The "Yes" button at the bottom of an invite -- on the web -- will feature a new dropdown with accompanying icons for each option -- Yes; Yes, in a meeting room; Yes, joining virtually.

Then, both the organiser and guests will be able to see how attendees are planning to attend the meeting in the event detail, 9To5Google reported.

This will help meeting attendees know what to expect when joining a meeting and prepare accordingly, it added.

This dropdown is launching first in Google Calendar and later coming to Gmail invites.
