Add details

Give your event a name and schedule when you would like it to take place by clicking on the dates and times. Then click ‘Add guests’ to invite attendees.

Add conferencing

Click ‘Add conferencing’ so it changes to ‘Hangouts’ and hit ‘Save’. This event will sync to everyone’s calendars and then they can click on the event to join the hangout.
