Connect Google Meet or Microsoft Teams

Connect Google Meet or Microsoft Teams so Alcova can create online meeting links when you set up a new meeting.

Google Meet uses your Google account, and Microsoft Teams uses your Microsoft account. These are the same connections as Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook on the Calendars page. When you connect one, it shows as connected on both pages. See Connect and choose your calendars.
