What is “Zoom Google Calendar integration,” exactly?
Short answer: it’s the connection that lets you schedule, edit, and join Zoom meetings directly inside Google Calendar (and Gmail) using the Zoom for Google Workspace add‑on. Once installed, you can add Zoom conferencing to events, insert meeting details, and manage settings without leaving Calendar.
Does integrating Zoom with Google Calendar actually improve attendance?
Yes—because it reduces friction and increases reminders. Research from CalendarLink.com shows automated reminders cut no‑shows by ~29%, and a calendar event inherently embeds timed notifications on every attendee’s device. Industry data also indicates that prominent “add to calendar” calls‑to‑action can materially lift show‑up rates for live events.
Why do Google Calendar + Zoom matter so much today?
Google Workspace reaches billions of users worldwide, and Zoom still dominates video conferencing volume post‑pandemic. If you want people to show up, your event needs to live in the exact Google Calendar event they already check, with the Zoom join link one tap away on mobile.
