Schedule a video meeting
Schedule a video meeting from Google Calendar:
It's easy to schedule a Meet video meeting in Google Calendar – just create an event and add your guests to it. A video meeting link and dial-in number (if you are a Google Workspace user) is added to a Calendar event either by inviting one or more guests to the event, or by clicking Add conferencing.
Note: Guests can forward the meeting link to other people. If someone tries to join who was not invited to the Calendar event, a meeting participant from your organisation must accept their request. For meetings organised by a personal Google Account, only the meeting creator can admit these participants.
The steps are as follows:
- In Calendar, create an event.
- Click Add guests and enter the names or email of the people that you want to invite.
- Click Save
- Click Send to notify guests.
