To use the Google Calendar feature, you’ll need a valid Google Account. Meeting Schedule Assistant must be authorised to access your calendars, and this process normally only needs to be completed once.

⚠️ Internet access required:
If you use a software firewall, you may see prompts asking whether to allow the application to connect to the internet. Choose Allow when prompted.

Google Calendar synchronisation uses a one‑time OAuth2 sign‑in process. Once authorised, Meeting Schedule Assistant can create and update events in your Google Calendars.

Step 1 — Begin Authorisation

Press the Authorise button to start the process.
