Schedule and join meetings with Webex for Google Workspace
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 Revoke data access and then click Grant data access.
and clickIf 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
