Known limitations
Our Outlook Calendar integration does not currently support:
booking rooms and other calendar resources
dropping out of PlusPlus events by declining them in Outlook
double-booking warnings
You also won’t be able to use both Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar simultaneously. Google Calendar will be favored over Outlook if both are active.
Managing calendars effectively and reducing clutter
Event organizers can easily schedule events on a shared or separate calendar, distinct from their personal calendars, using PlusPlus. To do this, a system admin should enable an elevated calendar integration under Settings → Integrations → Calendar for either Google or Outlook.
There are two integration options:
System Service Account (basic): Automatically adds events directly to your personal calendar without admin approval.
Event Creator’s Account (advanced): Allows scheduling on shared or other calendars, booking rooms, and generating video conference links (Google Meet or Teams). This integration requires admin approval for permissions.
Once enabled, organizers can select their preferred calendar in their Profile settings. Remember to switch back to your personal calendar when registering for events you personally wish to attend.
