Known issues and limitations for Webex for Google Workspace
The Webex integration with Google Calendar for Google Workspace has the following known issues and limitations:
-
If you migrated to a different Webex site or your Webex site address changed, the Webex add-on doesn't update your site address automatically. You must change the Webex site that you use in Google Calendar.
-
When you schedule a Google Calendar event and add a Webex meeting, you can't change the meeting password. The meeting password generates automatically.
-
Customization of the email template will not be reflected when a meeting is scheduled. This is due to a Google conference framework limitation. The Webex add-on will not be able to insert the email template into the Google event details. Instead, the meeting information is passed to the Google conference framework as different parameters and displayed differently. The meeting information that is currently supported includes: meeting password, meeting number, toll and toll free numbers, video address (IP address dialing is excluded), and global call-in number link.

When you duplicate a Google Calendar event that has a Webex meeting added, a new Webex meeting is created and attached to the duplicate event.
