Manage Zoom Meetings in Google Calendar
Once you’ve got Zoom linked with Google Calendar, managing your meetings is a breeze! Here’s how to make the most of it:
- Edit Meeting Details: Just open any event that has a Zoom link, and you can adjust the time, date, or participants directly from Google Calendar. It’ll update automatically in Zoom as well.
- Set Reminders: Use Google Calendar’s reminder features to stay on top of your schedule. You can set up notifications to give you a heads-up before your meetings start.
- Make It Recurring: If you have regular meetings, set them up to repeat by customizing the Recurrence settings in Google Calendar. Zoom will automatically link each instance of the meeting, so you don’t have to set it up every time.
Troubleshooting Zoom and Google Calendar Integration
Sometimes, things don’t go as smoothly as planned. If you’re having trouble, here are a few common issues and fixes:
- Issue: Zoom Doesn’t Show Up in Google Calendar
Try re-installing the Zoom add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Make sure you’re signed in to the right Google account and have granted all necessary permissions.
- Issue: Authorization Errors
If you’re seeing authorization issues, double-check that you’re signed in to Zoom with the correct account. Sometimes, logging out and back in can help reset things.
- Issue: Zoom Meeting Links Not Syncing
Make sure your internet connection is stable. If that’s not the issue, disconnect and re-authorize the Zoom integration from Google Calendar. This can often solve syncing problems.
