# Overview: integrate with Google Calendar

**8x8 Meet** users are able to schedule meetings directly from **Google Calendar** by installing the **8x8 Work for Google Calendar** Chrome extension. This extension allows users to better coordinate with colleagues by creating and updating 8x8 meetings via **Google Calendar**, and the closer integration with Gmail means that organizing meetings is easier than ever.

## Features

- Via **Google Calendar**, access the availability of your colleagues while scheduling the meeting, and secure their RSVP status.
- Schedule and join meetings directly from **Google Calendar** on any computer, allowing you to host and access meetings from anywhere.
- For additional capabilities of **8x8 Meet**, [click here](/documentation/docs/about-8x8-meet).

## Limitations

- **8x8 Work for Desktop** does not sync both ways with **Google Calendar**. Edits made to a meeting in **Google Calendar** carry over to the same meeting listed in **8x8 Work for Desktop**, but not vice versa.

## Requirements

- **8x8 Meet**
- Google Chrome browser (version 61 or newer)
