Despite Microsoft’s efforts to promote Teams, Google Meet remains the favoured option for the vast majority of users. The video chatting service is compatible with all major operating systems, and you can even schedule a Google Meet appointment using Microsoft Outlook. Here’s how to use Microsoft Outlook to arrange Google Meet.

Google provides an add-on for Microsoft Outlook that allows the programme to be linked.

We’ll take advantage of this and set up Google Meet in Microsoft Outlook.

This tip will come in handy if you’re working with Outlook on Windows or the web.

Without leaving the app, you may successfully establish Google Meet. We’ll start with the Outlook online app and work our way up to Outlook Windows. Let’s get going.

MICROSOFT OUTLOOK WEB

Outlook has an online version that is rather competent. If you’re attempting to use Outlook from a Mac or Chrome OS, the web version is superior. In comparison to the Outlook desktop versions for Mac and Windows, the Outlook online has more features.

To make the necessary modifications in Outlook online, follow the instructions below.

Step 1: Visit Outlook web.

Step 2: Sign in using your account credentials.

Step 3: Click on 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 on the three-dot menu at the top and select Get Add-ins.

Step 6: It will open a dedicated add-in 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 will see Google Meet appearing. Select it and sign in using your Google ID and password.

Step 8: Add your calendar event name, date, time, and other details. When you click on Google Meet > Add Meeting, it composes a Google Meet meeting and adds relevant information in the notes tab.

With Google Meet integration in Outlook, hit Save at the top and you’re set to go. As previously stated, the Google Meet add-in is not exclusive to Google Workspace members. On the PC and online, anybody with a valid Google account may use Google Meet with their Outlook calendar.

MICROSOFT OUTLOOK WINDOWS APP

You can’t just go to Microsoft Outlook and start scheduling Google Meet meetings. 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 personal Google account users.

Step 1: Open Microsoft Outlook on Windows.

Step 2: Go to the Home menu.

Step 3: Click on Browser Add-ins.

Step 4: It will open a dedicated add-ins 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 on the New Meeting button at the top.

Step 8: From the Add Meeting menu, click on the three-dot menu and open Google Meet.

Step 9: Click on it and select Add a meeting.

For the first time, Google Meet will need you to sign in using a username and password. After successful authentication, you’ll see Google Meet joining information in your notes, along with a link to the meeting.

Outlook will notify you of the forthcoming meeting on your calendar, and you may join the Google Meet meeting using notes. The same features are accessible on the online version of Outlook. Let’s have a look at it.

WHAT ABOUT OUTLOOK MOBILE APPS

Unfortunately, the Outlook iOS and Android apps do not allow you to create Google Meet meetings. From platform to platform, the add-ins shop is different. As a result, you won’t be able to use as many add-ins with Outlook mobile apps.

Zoom is available as an add-on in the Outlook mobile applications. From the Outlook Settings menu, you can effortlessly enable the Zoom add-on and compose Zoom calls from Outlook Calendar.

Google Meet is, of course, also available on Google Calendar. You may simply create Google Meet meetings without installing add-ins if you prefer Google’s calendar service. It’s a simple process that works in the same way as Microsoft Teams on Outlook Calendar does.

BOOK A GOOGLE MEETING WITH OUTLOOK

This method works with Outlook for Mac as well. On Windows and Mac, Microsoft is working on a single Outlook app. We’re hoping for the same features as the online version, such as Outlook Spaces and other cool features.
