# Scheduling meetings with Google Calendar
<a name="chime-scheduling-google"></a>

If you use Google Calendar, you can also schedule Amazon Chime meetings.

**To schedule a meeting using Google Calendar**

1. In the desktop client, choose the **Meetings** icon in the navigation bar at the top of the screen, and then choose **Schedule a meeting**.

   —OR—

   In the web app, under **Quick links**, choose **Schedule a meeting**.

1. Select your meeting options, and choose **Next**.

1. For **Select your calendar app**, choose **Google Calendar**.

1. Review the **Meeting instruction preview** field, which is automatically populated, then choose **Schedule with Google**.

1. A meeting invitation appears in a new tab in your default browser. The invite includes **meet@chime.aws** on the guest list. That enables auto-call and automatically starts the meeting for registered attendees at the scheduled start time.

   Do the following:
   + At the top of the form, replace **Add title** with the meeting name.
   + Use the controls below the title to choose a date, start time, and end time.
   + On the **Event details** tab, add a location and set any notification options.
   + (Optional) Edit the invitation text as needed.
   + (Optional) On the **Find a time** tab, use the calendar to find a date and time.
   + Under **Guests**, choose **Add guests** and select the meeting attendees.

1. Choose **Save**.

1. When asked if you want to send the invitation, choose **Send**.

1. (Optional) If you created a moderated meeting with a passcode, choose **Copy moderator info** and send the moderator information to the attendees who will act as moderators. Amazon Chime meeting invites don't include moderator information. You must send it separately.

To create a moderated meeting as a delegate, ask the meeting host to complete the previous procedure to create a meeting ID and moderator passcode. Then, have the meeting host copy and paste the following information from their Amazon Chime app, and send it to you:
+ For **Copy addresses**, the attendee email addresses.
+ For **Copy attendee invitation**, the instructions in the meeting invitation.
+ For **Copy moderator info**, the moderator meeting instructions and passcode, to be sent only to the meeting moderators.

Create a new meeting on the host's calendar and use the information above to populate the **Add guests** and **Add description** fields. Send the moderator passcode to the meeting moderators separately. For more information about moderated meetings, see [Scheduling moderated meetings](moderate-meeting.md).

Moderator information is not included in the Amazon Chime meeting invite and must be sent to moderators separately.
