Keep on reading to find out everything you need to know about how to schedule a Google Meet, invite guests to join, set timings, time zones, dates, add additional notes for guests and more.

1. Open Gmail in your browser.

2. Click on Google apps > Calendar +Create.

4. Click on date to set one.

5. And do the same to set time of meeting.

6. You can also set time from Find a time.

7. Click on numbers on left (denoting hours) to set time.

 

8. Set time will appear on the left.

9. Click on Unlock sidebar to minimize time window.

15. To add notes/notification messages for members, click More options.

2. Click on New meeting> Schedule in Google Calendar.

 

3. Follow the same steps as above from here onward.
