Secondary calendar video conferencing

[dhalvorsen]

I was asked by a staff member today why they are unable to add a Google Meet through Google Calendar.  They are able to do it to their primary calendar, but this does not seem to be an option district wide on secondary calendars.  Is there a reason for this or a way to add in that ability?

Hiya, do they have the ability to create and change events on the secondary calendar?

I just tested with a non-superadmin account on a different domain, and it worked just fine.

Even as my super admin when I add their calendar, I am not able to add a Google Meet.  Primary calendars aren't an issue...  It's only the secondary calendars.  I don't see anything restrictive set in the GW for calendars either.

I recommend going through all your Meet settings too.

And put a test user in an OU where you don't restrict anything in either Calendar or Meet.

I'm guessing it'll work then. Then work backwards, restricting settings to get closer to your current set up.

I don't have time to do that today now, but I will try to look at it later.  I tried Google support and the first guy was completely useless.  He also wanted me to change the default setting on secondary calendars to be share all information...  Sorry, but that would be a bad practice to have as a default setting.

I did find a work around while I waited, which was to go to meet.google.com and make a new meeting.  When you pick schedule in Google Calendar, you can then change it to be on the secondary calendar and it appears to work.  The last Google support tech told me that it's not possible to have the option to add conferencing on secondary calendars...  I've spent little time with Google support, but my impression so far is it's just time wasted.
