Are you tired of juggling between Zoom meetings and Google Calendar? Well, today is your lucky day!
You see, Google Calendar makes adding a video conference to an invitation incredibly easy. But, there’s a catch! The video chat service of choice has to be Google Meet.
I know, right? Google is very protective of its own products. Have you ever found yourself jumping on the Google Meet link that was in the calender, only everyone else has jumped on a Zoom link? So confusing.
But there’s a way around this problem: The Zoom for Google Workspace extension.
First, install the extension. Google will ask for a few permissions.
Next, create an event in Google Calendar. Just double-click on a date, title your meeting, set the start and end times, and you’re halfway there.
Now, notice that blue button saying ‘Add Google Meet video conferencing’? Don’t let it fool you. Click on the arrow next to it and select Zoom.
Boom! You’ve just added a Zoom link to your Google Calendar event.
If you’re not logged in to Zoom, you’ll need to do so. Then Google will ask if you’d like to add conferencing via Zoom to Google Workspace. Check the box and click ‘Allow’.
You can now invite guests to your meeting from your contacts list or by typing in their email addresses. Just remember, Google might give you a little warning if you invite someone who doesn’t use Google Calendar.
Finally, hit ‘Save’ and send out those invitations. You’ve just successfully scheduled a Zoom meeting through Google Calendar.
And that’s it! With these simple steps, you can make Zoom and Google Calendar best friends. No more switching between apps, no more confusion. Just seamless scheduling for your online meetings. Isn’t that a time-saver?
