SecureVideo's integration with Google Calendar allows you to automatically sync the SecureVideo sessions you host to your Google Calendar, and view your other calendared appointments within your SecureVideo calendar as well.
Once linked, any active sessions on your dashboard, as well any sessions that you create (and will host) in the future in SecureVideo will automatically populate within your Google Calendar. If you reschedule or cancel a session within SecureVideo, the corresponding session event in Google Calendar will also automatically update or be removed as well.
Please note that you should only edit SecureVideo sessions within the SecureVideo dashboard. Changes made to session events in Google Calendar will not be synced back to SecureVideo.
