Google Calendar Integration For Video Calling

Integrating a video calling tool into Google Calendar can enhance collaboration and streamline the meeting setup process by allowing users to add video conferencing directly when scheduling an event. This guide demonstrates how to integrate Stream Video's API, or any other video service, with Google Calendar using Google Apps Script and Google Cloud Platform. The process involves creating a new Apps Script project, registering the video service with the Calendar API, and setting up an OAuth consent screen for user authorization. By modifying the appsscript.json manifest file and implementing functions like onHomepage and createConference, users can ensure their video conferencing solution appears as an option in the Google Calendar meeting setup. Once set up, users will have a seamless experience adding video calls without the hassle of switching tools or searching for links, ultimately facilitating efficient real-time collaboration.
