Schedule Meetings Using Google Calendar
The BCC users with the Professional plan can schedule Cymbus meetings using Google Calendar. This is a perfect solution for users who want to use Google Calendar on a Windows or Mac computer to schedule many meetings.
Install the Cymbus add-on to your Google Calendar, then sign into Cymbus using your Cymbus account. When using Google Calendar to schedule a meeting, you can add a Cymbus meeting link with a single click, invite anyone with an email address, and configure options for waiting room and passcode. Invitees will receive your invite in their email inbox where they can respond. If invitees are Cymbus users, they see your meeting in their Cymbus app as well.
