Create a meeting
- Click the “Create” button in Google Calendar

- Move to the SP_CE panel to the right and select which space and meeting template to use
- Click “Add to meeting”

Please note that if you want to update the invite, open the SP_CE add in and press “save” to have the changes reflected in the space meeting.
Find the space meeting in the timeline
Find the event you created in Google Calendar reflected as a meeting in the timeline in the space. In space you can start (or join) the meeting and customize the meeting agenda.
Please note that to update the meeting with a two way sync between space and the calendar, you need to head back to the calendar and use the add-in.
