Assign a Google Calendar to Meet hardware

After you enroll a Google Meet hardware device, you can assign a personal calendar or room calendar to it. People can use that calendar to schedule meetings with the connected person or room. You can connect a room calendar with one device and a personal calendar with multiple devices.

Google Calendar must be on for a device to access the calendar. For details, go to Turn Calendar on or off for users.

Choose your set up: 

• If you only use the device for unscheduled meetings, you don’t need to connect a calendar to it.
  Next steps: Check out popular settings and Let your organization know about Meet hardware.
• If you’re the only person who uses the device and want to connect it to your personal calendar, on this page go to Assign a personal calendar.
• If the device is in a conference room that has a calendar, on this page go to Assign a room calendar.
