Staying organized at work isn't a choice, it's a requirement. While an online calendar is a scheduling tool, it's also a productivity tool connecting teams across different time zones, platforms, and communication styles.
For a hybrid workforce, having multiple video conferencing options integrated directly into your calendar is a game-changer. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Zoho Calendar's new integrations with MS Teams, Webex, and Google Meet.

You’re working with one client who uses MS Teams, while another prefers Google Meet, and your internal team relies on Webex for project discussions.
