Even though Microsoft is pushing Teams left and right, Google Meet is still the preferred choice of the majority out there. The video calling service is available on all major operating systems, and you can also book a Google Meet meeting using Microsoft Outlook. Here’s how you can schedule Google Meet in Microsoft Outlook.
Google provides an add-on for Microsoft Outlook to integrate with the software. We will use that and schedule Google Meet in Microsoft Outlook.
This trick can be useful for people who deal with Outlook on Windows or the web. You can effectively set up Google Meet without leaving the software. First, we’ll start with the Outlook web app and then move on to Outlook Windows. Start.
Microsoft Outlook Web
Outlook offers a capable web version. The web version is more suitable if you are trying to access Outlook from Mac or Chrome OS. Outlook web also has many features compared to the Outlook desktop applications on Mac and Windows.
Follow the steps below to make the necessary changes in Outlook web.
Step 1: Go to the Outlook website.
Step 2: Sign in with your account credentials.
Step 3: Click the Calendar tab and go to Outlook Calendar.
Step 4: Select Create event shortcut at the top and it will open a dedicated menu to add event details.
Step 5: Click the three-dot menu at the top and select Get Add-ins.
Step 6: It will open a dedicated add-on store. Search for Google Meet and install the add-in to your Microsoft Outlook calendar.
Step 7: Click on the same three-dot menu at the top and you should see Google Meet appear. Select it and sign in with your Google ID and password.
Step 8: Add the calendar event name, date, time and other details. When you click Google Meet > Add meeting, it composes a meeting on Google Meet and adds relevant information to the notes tab.
Tap Save at the top and you’re ready to integrate Google Meet in Outlook. As we mentioned earlier, the Google Meet add-on is not limited to Google Workspace subscribers. Anyone with a valid Google account can use Google Meet with the Outlook desktop and web calendar.
Windows Application Microsoft Outlook
You can’t access Microsoft Outlook and start scheduling meetings on Google Meet. You need to install the add-on first. Follow the steps below.
Unlike Zoom, the Google Meet add-on is available for Google Workspace and individual Google account users.
Step 1: Open Microsoft Outlook on Windows.
Step 2: Go to the Home menu.
Step 3: Click Browser Add-ons.
Step 4: It will open a dedicated add-on store.
Step 5: Search for Google Meet and add it to Microsoft Outlook.
Step 6: Close the window and go to the Calendar tab.
Step 7: Click the New Meeting button at the top.
Step 8: From the Add meeting menu, click the three-dot menu and open Google Meet.
Step 9: Click on it and select Add meeting.
Google Meet will ask you to sign in with your username and password the first time you use it. After successful authentication, you’ll see your Google Meet join information along with the meeting link in the note.
Outlook sends you a notification about an upcoming meeting in your calendar, and you can use the note to join a Google Meet meeting. Similar functionality is also available on the Outlook web. Let’s explore that together.
What about the Outlook mobile app
Unfortunately, you can’t compose a Google Meet meeting using the Outlook iOS and Android apps. The add-on store varies across platforms. That means you won’t be able to enjoy the same number of add-ins with the Outlook mobile apps.
The Outlook mobile app supports Zoom as an add-on. You can easily enable the Zoom utility from the Outlook Settings menu and compose Zoom calls from Outlook Calendar.
Understandably, Google Meet is also available on Google Calendar. If you like Google’s calendar service, you can easily create meetings on Google Meet without installing add-ons. It’s a simple matter and offers the same integration as Microsoft does with Outlook Calendar Groups.
Schedule Google Meet with Outlook
This trick is also available on Outlook for Mac. Microsoft is working on a single Outlook app on Windows and Mac. We expect to see the same functionality as the web version, including Outlook Spaces and other extras. How do you plan to use Google Meet with Outlook? Share your habits in the comments below.
