Meeting Schedule Assistant

To utilize the Outlook Calendar feature, you’ll need an existing valid Outlook / Hotmail account. Afterwards, you’ll authorize my application to access your calendars. Typically, this authorization process only needs to be completed once. 

To proceed, ensure that you have internet access. Additionally, if you have a software firewall installed, be prepared to encounter pop-up windows requesting permission to access the internet. Please grant permission when prompted.

The way Google has set up synchronizing to your calendars requires authorization using a mechanism called OAuth2. Please follow these steps:

• Step 1: Sign In
• Step 2: Enter Code
• Step 3: Sign into Email Account
• Step 4: Consent to agreement
• Step 5: Security Notification
