Steps
Set eventType to "workingLocation" on events.insert and supply a workingLocationProperties object with type set to homeOffice, officeLocation, or customLocation.
For officeLocation, include the officeLocation sub-object (building/floor/desk labels); for customLocation, include a label string.
Set visibility to "public" and transparency to "transparent" so the status displays correctly and doesn't block the day.
To read a single working-location event, call events.get with its eventId; to list them, call events.list with eventTypes=["workingLocation"].
Remember eventType cannot be changed after creation and working-location events cannot be moved to a different calendar.
Known gotchas
Working-location events are a distinct eventType from regular events — filtering by eventTypes is required or they'll be mixed into normal event queries.
The event's type is immutable post-creation, so a working-location event can't later be converted into an out-of-office or focus-time event without deleting and recreating it.
