This feature is available for Webex Meetings.


If you already installed the Webex app, you'll be upgraded to a new version automatically. We recommend that IT administrators go to the Google Admin console and grant new scopes to provide organization-wide permission, otherwise users will be asked to authorize new permissions when they try to schedule Webex meetings. To grant new scopes, sign in to the Google Admin console and go to Apps > Marketplace Apps > Settings for Cisco Webex and click Revoke data access and then click Grant data access.

If your administrator hasn’t installed the Webex app for G Suite users but has added it to the approved list of apps, you can go to Google Workspace Marketplace and install the app yourself.

If restrictions are applied to Marketplace apps, your Google administrator can add the Webex app to the approved list of apps or can select Allow users to install any application from Google Workspace Marketplace in Marketplace settings > Manage Access to apps.

Administrators can install the app for the whole domain through the Google Admin console. Go to support.google.com and search for Install Marketplace apps.

Go to the Webex app for Google Workspace, and then click Install.

Only users with Google Workspace accounts can view this page in Google Workspace Marketplace.

After you've installed the app, follow the instructions in Set Your Webex Site in Google Calendar.

If you no longer want to schedule Webex meetings and Webex Personal Room meetings directly from Google Calendar or Gmail, you can remove the Webex integration for Google Workspace.

Administrators can uninstall the app from the whole domain through the Google Admin console. Go to support.google.com and search for Delete a Marketplace app from Google Workspace.

Before you can schedule a Webex meeting or Webex Personal Room meeting, you must specify the Webex site to use with your account.

1

In Google Calendar, select Create event.

2

Under Event Details, select Add conferencing, and then select Webex meeting or Webex Personal Room meeting.

If you don't see these options under Add conferencing, your administrator hasn’t installed the Cisco Webex for Google Calendar app. You may be able to install the app yourself. For more information, see Add the Cisco Webex App from Google Workspace Marketplace.

3

Under Add location, you'll see either Authorize or Login required:

  • If you see Authorize, it means that you have to authorize the Cisco Webex for Google Calendar app to access your Google account. Select Authorize and go to Step 4.
  • If you see Login required, it means that you use the same email address for your Webex account and for Google Workspace, and that your administrator has already authorized the Cisco Webex for Google Calendar app to access your Google account. Select Log In and go to Step 5 to enter the Webex site to use for meetings.
4

To authorize, choose the Google Workspace account that you want to use with Cisco Webex for Google Calendar.

To make it easier for people to join a meeting from a Cisco Webex room or desk device, select Rooms, and then select the room devices that you want to add. You can choose from suggested rooms or search for a new one. This makes a Join button appear on the device before the meeting starts.

Your administrator needs to set up your account with the Cisco Webex Hybrid Calendar Service so you can schedule room devices this way.

7

(Optional) Edit the meeting options. In the side panel, select Cisco Webex Webex icon and choose the meeting template, allow attendees to join the meeting before the host, assign an alternate host or cohost, and change the audio settings.

Select Save, and then Send.

The calendar invite shows the Webex meeting details, including a link to join the meeting. You can copy the link and share it with others.

If your meeting repeats and you need to change the date or time of one of the meetings, locate and select that instance of the meeting, select Edit event, make your changes, select Save > This event, and select OK.

If your meeting repeats and you want to delete an occurrence of the meeting because you'll be on vacation or it's a public holiday, locate and select that instance of the meeting, select Delete event > This event, and select OK.
