Google Meet show est. tardiness

It’s a new year, filled with new meetings. This is the human condition, at least until our AI avatars start taking meetings for us (but that’s another conversation for another day). Today, let’s stay focused on the more immediately top of mind issue, meeting tardiness. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t always make it to meetings on time, especially if the meetings are back to back. It’s tough.

This got me thinking about the Google Calendar UI. What if there were some way to indicate people who will likely be late based on data from previous meetings?

While this would be somewhat punitive for people who are consistently tardy, it would also be helpful. Realistically this would be more helpful for companies tracking performance, because if someone saw that everyone will likely be 10 minutes late, the meeting will either functionally start at a different time or people will skip. Regardless, this would be nice data to have.
