Google Calendar is a great way to manage meetups and events. You can add meeting times, locations, and invitees easily. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind when creating an event. First, make sure your meeting is appropriate for the group you are inviting. If it’s a small group of friends, don’t invite everyone. Instead, focus on inviting people who will be able to contribute the most to the discussion. Second, make sure your meeting is scheduled in a timely manner. Google Calendar doesn’t like to hold onto events for too long. If you’re trying to schedule a meeting that’s going to conflict with another event or work appointment, be prepared to reschedule. Finally, be aware of Google’s policies on Meetups and Events. Some of these restrictions may apply: -You can’t have more than 10 people in your Meeting Type -You can’t have meetings outside of business hours -You can’t use copyrighted material (photos or videos) in your Meeting Type

You can also open a Google Chat from Meet for those attendees who haven’t shown up yet. See if they’re coming or give them a gentle reminder that the meeting has started.

View Calendar Attendees in Google Meet

Instead of just seeing who has joined your Google Meet, you can see who else you invited and other details.

When the Google Meet begins, select the participant icon on the bottom right.

This opens a sidebar on the right side that displays those on the call at the top and others you’ve invited at the bottom.

If you made an attendee optional, you’ll see this directly below their name.

You can also see their RSVP status on their icon. So, you’ll know right away who accepted, who might join, and who declined.

If the person included a note with their RSVP, you can also see this below their name.

For Google users you invited, you can select the chat icon next to their name. This opens Google Chat directly to a conversation with that person.

This is a good way to remind them of the meeting or to see if they still plan to attend.

If you plan a Google Calendar meeting with many attendees, the ability to manage those invites right in Google Meet is convenient. It’s just one of those little extras that makes Google’s Calendar and Meet integration great for business.
