Now, users can instantly create and share a new Teams meeting link every time someone books a meeting through Calendly, so the host and invitees have all the details they need automatically. Additionally, the company also announced that all video conferencing integrations are now part of its Basic plan, meaning that users can meet virtually through Calendly’s integrations with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and GoToMeeting for free, forever.
“Video conferencing has gone from being a common part of the technology stack for professionals like salespeople, client success managers, and consultants, to the universal way that we all stay connected in today’s world. Our new integration with Microsoft Teams and free video conferencing tools help improve the customer experience by eliminating the barrier between how you schedule a meeting and how you meet,” said Tope Awotona, founder and CEO of Calendly.
“People trust Calendly to schedule time with others, and we’re committed to helping make the most of those precious minutes. Having a place to meet is key to making good use of that time. By innovating our product in a way that responds to our users’ needs and the environment, Calendly provides the simplest way for everyone to find time with others,” Awotona continued.

You and your attendees can easily access the meeting room from the confirmation email and calendar invite. You’ll also find the Teams conferencing details in your Calendly and Microsoft Teams accounts.
