Overview

With the Zoom for Google Calendar add-on, you can seamlessly schedule, join, and manage meetings right from Google Calendar.

After installing the add-on, you can use it on Google Calendar desktop or on the mobile app (Android or iOS). You can also schedule for another user with scheduling privilege.

Note:

  • You cannot install the add-on if you are signed in to multiple Google accounts. Only sign in to the account that you want to install the add-on for.
  • When using the add-on, make sure you are not signing in to multiple Google accounts with the add-on installed. This will cause issues when scheduling Zoom meetings using the add-on.
