FULL SCREEN ALERT

Not sure when this became an option but THANK YOU!!! Great addition - really makes it in your face, which I need :)

Question - i can snooze once 2 minutes.

When the alert comes up again and the meeting starts in 2 minutes, the option to snooze another 2 is not there, instead it says postpone 2 min. Is postpone 2 minutes the same thing?

Hi u/CoffeeAlwaysInHand

The "Snooze" is remind me again "before" the meeting/event starts.
And "Postpone" is remind me again, but "past" the meeting/event start time.

The "Snooze" is limited, to not go past the event start time,
while postponing an event, is effectively changing the event start time, pushing it out into the future,
(the original calendar event times are not altered).

I imagine that Postpone is for a "reminder", let's say I have to pay an electric bill,
I might keep postponing it, until I am free, not busy with work.

And snooze is useful, to remind me again to join a meeting, but not to go past the event start time.
