Google updates Calendar to enable real-time look-ups with Microsoft Exchange

Google has announced an important update as to how Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange can work together. For businesses that use both G Suite and Microsoft Office, the new feature connects the two platforms allowing users of both to connect with one another and share appointment information.

Once an admin has enabled it, the new Calendar Interop feature will be available on Google Calendar for Android, iOS and the web, as well as all Outlook 2010+ clients on desktop, mobile, and web.

Admins will also be able to easily pinpoint issues with the setup via a troubleshooting tool, which will also provide suggestions for resolving those issues, and can track interoperability successes and failures for each user through logs Google has made available.

Google says the new feature is currently rolling out to users and should be available to all within the next three days. G-Suite admins can learn more about this new update here.
