Using Google Calendars with Skype for Business

A USB PROS REVIEW

Options for integrating Skype for Business and Google Calendars

You can start a ad-hoc Skype for Business meeting and copy and paste the meeting invitation details into your Google Calendar invitation

You can set a static meeting ID (talk to your system administrator) and use that meeting ID to schedule your Google Calendar invitation

You can use UnifiedCT’s Unyfy solution to manage both Google Calendars and Microsoft Exchange with the solutions above

Static ID vs Regular Meetings IDs

By default most Skype for Business accounts are set to have rotating Meeting ID’s

Therefore your meeting ID will change every time you launch ad-hoc meeting

If you set Skype for Business to have a Static Meeting ID you can simply paste this ID into your Google Calendar invitations and it will never change

Integrating Microsoft Exchange and Google Calendars

You can set Google Calendars to import your Microsoft Exchange calendar information

This is ideal if you have a Office 365 account and you use Google Calendars

You CANNOT import google calendar meeting items into Exchange (As of July 2015)
