Add Google Meet links to bookings

Google Meet is a separate extension from the Google Workspace integration, and it can be turned on without one. What the integration changes is how much of it happens by itself.

What to have ready

• A decision on whether meeting links belong on your bookings at all
• For your own OAuth app: the meet-callback redirect URI already added to the OAuth client

1. Turn on the extension

Find the Google Meet tile in the marketplace and turn it on. It is a plain switch — there is nothing to configure, because the Meet application is Offision’s own. The same switch appears on the Extensions page if you prefer to work there.

2. Know which bookings get a link by themselves

This is the part worth reading twice, because the two cases behave differently.

A room booking that reaches a Google resource calendar gets its Meet link from Google as part of creating the event. Nothing else is involved, and nobody has to connect anything.

Everything else has no Google event to hang a link on, so Offision asks Google to create a meeting space — and Google will only do that on behalf of a signed-in person.

3. Have people connect their account

In the user app, under Linked services, each person finds Google Workspace with a Google Meet link switch. Turning it on sends them through a Google sign-in once, after which their bookings carry a Meet link.

Someone whose account already signs in through Google Workspace sees calendar sync and room-booking Meet links listed as already included — the switch there covers only the extra cases in the table above.

4. Check it worked

• Book a Google-connected room and confirm the booking carries a Meet link
• Have someone who has connected their account book a desk, and confirm that booking carries one too
• Open one of the links and confirm it opens a real meeting
