Allow Google Calendar users to book Microsoft Exchange resources

What’s changing

You can now let your Google Calendar users book Microsoft Exchange calendar resources, such as meeting rooms, when they schedule a meeting.

Who’s impacted

Admins and end users

Why you’d use it

We know that some of you manage a coexistence of Google Calendar users and Microsoft Exchange users within your organizations. Last year, we added the ability to share free/busy information across users in these two environments. With this launch, Calendar users can now easily book any resources that are stored in Exchange.

How to get started


  • Admins: To enable Exchange room booking in the Admin console, please follow these instructions.
  • End users: Once this feature is enabled, Calendar users will see both Calendar and Exchange resources displayed as bookable options.
