Add meetings to your synced calendar

Once you sync your calendar, you can promote any event in your calendar to a collaborative meeting with 8x8 Meet. Simply schedule an event from your usual calendar, then go to your 8x8 Work app to add a meeting to the scheduled event!

To schedule an event for your synced calendar:

1. Open the calendar you previously synced with 8x8 Work, such as your calendar in iCloud or Microsoft Exchange.

2. Schedule an event in your calendar, invite participants, and save. Once saved, the calendar event shows up in your desktop or mobile app under Meetings / . You are now able to add a meeting to the event.

   Note:

   Up to 500 participants can join a meeting directly with 8x8 Meet, and an unlimited number can follow the meeting via YouTube streaming.

To add a meeting to a synced calendar event:

1. Once you have scheduled an event in your synced calendar, open your 8x8 Work desktop or mobile app.

2. Go to Meetings / to view your upcoming calendar events.
   

3. If a calendar event does not have a meeting attached, it is marked with an Add meeting option; events with meetings already attached do not show this icon. As the time approaches to join a meeting there is a display of the time remaining until you need to join.

   Note:

   Depending on your selection under Settings > Meetings > Schedule meetings in 8x8 Work for Desktop, the meeting URL that you attach to a calendar event is either the URL of your personal meeting space, or a URL with a partially-randomized meeting space name.

   • To add a meeting: Click or tap a calendar event labeled with the Add meeting option to associate a meeting with the event.

   • To join a scheduled meeting: Click or tap to join the meeting associated with the calendar event.
     

4. Participants invited to the calendar event see the meeting you attach to the event in their calendar, and can join the meeting as the calendar event approaches.

   Note:

   Up to 500 participants can join a meeting directly with 8x8 Meet, and an unlimited number can follow the meeting via YouTube streaming.
