Connect your Google Calendar or Outlook calendar to Scoot from My Settings. Scoot reads your calendar so it can match your Scoot meetings to the calendar events they came from, including who was invited. This is different from the calendar add-ins, which add a Scoot room link to an event from inside your calendar. See Scoot Engage for Outlook and Scoot Engage for Google Workspace.
Availability depends on your plan and account settings.

​
Connect a calendar

  1. Open Scoot in a web browser. You can’t connect a calendar from the desktop or mobile app.
  2. Click your profile picture or initials in the top-right corner and select My Settings.
  3. In the Calendar section, click Connect next to Google Calendar or Outlook.
  4. Sign in to your calendar account and allow Scoot to read your calendar. Leave the calendar permission checked.
After you connect, the calendar shows Connected · syncing for the first time…. The first sync usually finishes within a minute or two.

​
How syncing works

Scoot keeps your calendar in sync in the background. You don’t need to keep Scoot open.
  • Scoot reads your primary calendar only.
  • It reads events from about one week ago to two weeks ahead.
  • It checks for changes about every 15 minutes, and again when you start a meeting.
  • My Settings shows when the calendar last synced.

​
If your IT admin must approve Scoot

Some organizations require an IT admin to approve Scoot before you can connect. Scoot shows a link to send them. Click Copy link, send it to your IT admin, and click Connect again after they approve.

​
Fix a broken connection

If Scoot can no longer read your calendar, you’ll see a message such as “Access to this calendar expired.” or “This calendar stopped syncing.” Click Reconnect and sign in again.

​
Disconnect a calendar

Click Disconnect next to the calendar, then confirm. Scoot stops reading the calendar and deletes the events it synced. Invitee lists already on past meetings are kept.
