Google Meet Integration

    Google Meet is a video conferencing platform designed to offer video calling services, along with other features that facilitate virtual meetings. You can host up to 250 participants, making it suitable for small discussions as well as large webinars.

    You can create a meeting invite for video conferencing using the Google Meet integration in Zoho Calendar. This integration allows you to create and start a Google meeting directly from Zoho Calendar.
