When I create an event using "OK Google" it creates a calendar event, It's great. One issue - it creates the events in the wrong calendar. I use a non google email address for my default calendar. Google creates the event in my gmail account. When I hand create an event the event gets created in the correct non google calendar.

How do I get "OK Google" events to be created in the right calendar?
 
I was searching to find out how to get Google assistant to allow me to choose which calendar to add things to since it just adds everything to the default one.
I have a few shared calendars for friends and family and am often needing to add the events to those calendars so that they can see them.
With the current setup I have to go to my computer anyway to edit the event to the right calendar.

Hoping that there is a solution soon since using my watch to add an event block is useless if the right people can't see it.

Install the google calendars app, and after you create an event go to the google calendars app and "copy to" your shared calendars you want.

It's not great functionality, but it gets the job done. If you're on the default calendars app, you can also just open up the event and edit it which calendar it is in as well.

I'm surprised google hasn't made this better yet, they're usually ahead of the curve.
