Calendar & meetings
Add a video link
Send feedbackAny meeting can include a video call. When you schedule a meeting, choose how you want to add the link.
Your options
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Meet | Automatically generates a Google Meet link for the meeting. Requires a connected Google account. |
| Enter custom link | Paste a meeting link you already have from another provider — including Zoom. |
Google Meet
Choose Meet and the link is created for you when you save the meeting. There is nothing to copy or paste.
- The link comes from Google, not from NevTan Mail. The meeting is placed on your Google Calendar with a conference attached, and Google hands back the join link. That is why a connected Google account is needed — without one there is no calendar to attach it to.
- It is connected per person, not per workspace. Your colleague connecting their account does nothing for yours, and yours does nothing for theirs.
- Connect without leaving the meeting form. Pick Meet while unconnected and a Connect Google Calendar button appears in the dialog, so you do not have to abandon the meeting you were part-way through writing.
- Nothing fails if you do not connect. While your account is unconnected NevTan Mail simply does not ask Google for a link, so saving still works — you are invited to paste one instead.
See Connect Google Calendar for what the connection covers and how to remove it.
Your own link
Choose Enter custom link to use a call you have already set up somewhere else. This is the option that works with every provider, Zoom included.
- Any provider will do. NevTan Mail stores the address you give it and passes it on — it does not need to recognise the service behind it, so Teams, Webex, Zoom and anything else all work the same way.
- It has to be a real address. Leave it empty and saving stops with Meeting link is required; type something that is not a URL and it stops with Meeting link must be a valid URL.
- The link is shown back to you once it is valid, which is the quickest way to catch a half-pasted address before anyone is invited to it.
- Set the call up first. NevTan Mail does not create the meeting at the other end — generate the link in that provider, then paste it here.
Zoom
Zoom isn't offered for new meetings right now
NevTan Mail has a built-in Zoom integration, but the Zoom provider option is currently hidden while we wait on Zoom's approval to share meetings outside our own account. Until that comes through, add a Zoom call by pasting your Zoom join link into Enter custom link.
Meetings you already saved with Zoom keep working. Open one to edit it and the Zoom option is still available, along with Connect Zoom / Disconnect Zoom so you can manage the authorization for that meeting. Connecting Zoom is optional and is done per user.
For the full connect, use, and remove walkthrough — including what NevTan Mail can access and how to revoke it — see the Zoom integration guide.
