Scenario
As a content owner with your Google Calendar integrated to PlusPlus, you want to make yourself the host or owner of a Google Meet event, office hour, or mentorship session formerly owned by someone else. The former host/owner no longer wants these events, office hours, or mentorship sessions to appear on their calendar.
Solution
Before you start: The Switch to your Calendar button is conditional. You will only see it when all of the following are true:
You are not already the current calendar owner. If you are the current owner, the page will show "Google Calendar Event managed by: You" and there is nothing to switch.
Your Google Calendar is integrated with your instance of PlusPlus. If you have not set this up, see How to integrate PlusPlus with Google Calendar.
You are the new designated host on the record (for example, the new host on the event timeslot, the host on the office hour, or the host on the mentorship session). Viewing as an admin who is not the listed host is not enough — the system uses the host on the record to decide whether to offer the button.
Once those conditions are met, the new host can make themselves the owner by following these steps:
Access the event type, event, office hour, or mentorship session that you are the new owner of.
Open the context menu (button with three dots) and select Edit.
The Edit page opens.Go to Location & Time and open the timeslot(s) you are the new owner of.
Note that events can have multiple timeslots but office hours and mentorship sessions only have a single location and time.Click Switch to your Calendar.
You become the host/owner of the timeslot (that is, the new owner should be the person performing this process).
Any new scheduled events, office hours, or mentorship sessions of this type no longer appear on the former owner's calendar (if they are not attending in some other capacity), and they can delete the ones already on their calendar without deleting them for everyone else.

Changing Google Meet hosts for event types v. scheduled events
If you want to change the host/owner of a Google Meet event indefinitely, perform the process described above on the event type level and for every applicable timeslot. This way, the ownership transfers to all newly scheduled events of that type going forward.
If you only want to change the host/owner for a single scheduled event and not indefinitely, perform this process at the event level.
Changing hosts for a Google Meet breakout session
You can add multiple timeslots to an event for things like breakout sessions, and if you want someone other than the event owner to host the breakout session, that breakout host can follow the process described above for the breakout timeslot.
Who owns Google Meet events, office hours, and mentorship sessions if their owner leaves?
If a Google Meet event, office hour, or mentorship session owner no longer has their Google Calendar integrated with your instance of PlusPlus (for example, if they leave your org), ownership transfers to someone else in the following order:
For events:
organizer
co-organizer
presenter
For mentorship or office hours:
host
facilitator (office hours only)
Calendar fallback owner
The calendar fallback owner is the person you define as the owner of events, office hours, or mentorship sessions that have no one eligible to be their owner based on the prioritized lists given above.
You can define this setting for events, office hours, and mentorship sessions by entering the email address of the fallback owner at Settings > Integrations > Calendar.
I don't see the Switch to your Calendar button - why?
The button is rendered conditionally, so a missing button almost always means one of these is true:
You are already the calendar owner. Look at the line that reads "Google Calendar Event managed by: …". If it says "You", you already own the calendar event and there is nothing to switch.
You are not the host on the record. The system only offers the button to the person listed as the host on the event timeslot, office hour, or mentorship session. Being a super admin or content owner does not override this. If you are not the listed host yet, edit the record to make yourself the host first, save, and then re-open the timeslot.
Your Google Calendar is not integrated with PlusPlus. Go to your profile and connect your Google Calendar before retrying. See How to integrate PlusPlus with Google Calendar.
The host is not using Google Meet. This entire flow only applies to Google Meet events. If the meeting is on Zoom, Teams, WebEx, or another provider, there is no Google Calendar ownership to transfer.
