Connecting to Google Meet
Overview
You can use Google Meet as one of your meeting location options to host your virtual appointments.
Pre-requisite: To be able to use Google Meet as a meeting location, you’ll need to first integrate your Google Calendar with CoachVantage. Go to My Settings > Integrations to connect your Google Calendar (make sure to disconnect any existing calendar first).
Currently, Google Meet is available as a location option only when you connect your Google Calendar to your CoachVantage account. If you connect other calendar types such as Outlook, iOS, etc, then Google Meet will not be available as a meeting location.
