If you’ve received a Google Meet invite from Beam, don’t worry—it’s part of how we streamline scheduling and session management for both creators and their clients. Here’s why you may have received this invite and what to expect:

Why Was I Sent a Google Meet Invite?

1. Automatic Meeting Setup for Your Beam Sessions

Beam integrates with Google Meet to provide a smooth experience for live sessions. When you or someone books a 1:1 session on Beam, our system automatically generates a Google Meet invite to ensure both parties have an easy way to join the video call. This helps avoid the hassle of manually setting up a video meeting.

2. Syncing with Your Calendar

If you’ve connected your calendar with Beam, the platform uses this integration to automatically sync your session times. As part of this process, Beam will create a Google Meet link and send it to both you and the person who booked the session, ensuring that everything is scheduled and linked to your calendar.

3. Webinar Setup

For webinars hosted on Beam, the Google Meet invite ensures that you have a virtual meeting space ready for your audience. It helps you manage larger groups of attendees and provides a secure link for easy access to the session.

4. Session Reminders

Beam may send Google Meet invites as part of a reminder system to ensure both you and your client don’t miss the scheduled session. The invite includes the date, time, and Meet link for quick access.

Do I Have to Use Google Meet?

While Beam currently leverages Google Meet for its video sessions, we’re continuously expanding our platform and plan to introduce more options in the future. For now, Google Meet offers a reliable, widely-used solution to ensure all Beam sessions can be easily accessed.

What Should I Do With the Google Meet Invite?

Check the Details: Verify the date and time of the session and ensure it matches your availability.

Join the Meeting: Simply click the Google Meet link at the scheduled time to start your session.

Sync with Your Calendar: If you’ve connected your calendar to Beam, the invite should automatically appear in your calendar. If not, you can manually add it for convenience
