What is Calendar View in Google Calendar?

You can customize this view the way you want: by week, days, and more. To access the presets, click the drop-down menu next to the gear icon on the top left.

Aside from Day, Week, Month, Year, Schedule, 4 days, and other presets, Google also lets you create custom views as well.

Open Google Calendar.
Click the gear icon on the top right.
Select Settings.
Click View options.

From here, you’ll get a list of options for your view settings. Custom view refers to how many days you see per panel. For example, if you set it to 4 days, you’ll see only four days at a time when opening Google Calendar, like in the image below.

On the other hand, alternate calendars let you use special calendars that might be more appropriate for your region, like Korean, Hebrew, and Chinese. When you share your Google Calendar with others, they’ll see the alternate calendar you select instead of the standard one. Below is an image showing Google Calendar using a traditional Chinese calendar.
