Never again forget to add the meeting link - it happens automatically if you invite someone.

Oh I hope this happens. I already had awkward moments of meeting guests looking for the missing invite over a dozen times...

Automatic Meeting Link for Group Events
H
Husain
When scheduling a call or meeting with multiple attendees in Morgan, I have to manually add a meeting link (Google Meet, Zoom, etc.) each time. This is inconvenient and easy to overlook, especially when a meeting link is generally expected in such cases. Given that most modern calendar tools auto-generate a virtual link for meetings with multiple participants, this feature would streamline the scheduling process and improve user experience.
Proposed Solution:
Automatically add a Google Meet link (or allow setting a preferred virtual platform) whenever an event is created with more than one participant. This option could be a default setting, or toggleable based on user preference in settings.
Benefits:
- Saves Time: Eliminates the repetitive task of manually adding a meeting link for group events.
- Reduces Errors: Minimizes the risk of overlooking the link, which can lead to scheduling mishaps and confusion.
- Meets User Expectations: Brings Morgen in line with other leading calendar tools that offer this convenience.
- Enhances Professionalism: Avoids the potential for unintentional lapses and missed connections in meetings.
Priority: High – This feature addresses a core function of any scheduling tool, supporting efficient and reliable communication.
Thank you for considering this improvement to make Morgen even more valuable for users like me who rely on it daily.

Default Conferencing links when attendee added

Add a default conferencing link when an attendee is added to an event.

Yes please! I've lost count of how often I've missed adding a conferencing link to a remote meeting. It would be great if this could be set as a preference for each calendar. For example, I hardly ever need a default conferencing link for my family calendar, but I almost always need one for my work calendar.

This would make my life a lot better!

Great point! Since most meetings are virtual these days, it would make sense for Morgen to default to adding a conferencing link for events with multiple attendees. For those occasional physical meetings, Morgen could simply allow us to override the default and enter a physical location manually. This way, virtual links are automatically added most of the time, but there’s still the flexibility to switch to a location when needed.

Husain: I am curious. Would this be a setting somewhere deafult (location or conferencing link) because for me, creating an event is normally with a location.
The booking link automatically adds a conferencing link.
If that is the case, I assume a default conferencing link location would be the preference EG: personal zoom room.

Danny Hatcher (Customer Support) No It would be the meeting link

Husain: But where do you decide what meeting link goes into an event?
I assume the preferences but how do you decide that for an event? A specific calendar, tagged event, all calendars etc...
Some meeting Meetmay require Google othersmeets where as other require Zoom and some a personal room. How would that be worked out?

Danny Hatcher (Customer Support) You can have default config for the user for them to chose it to be meet/ zoom to be default - because in my experience mostly people have a preference for a tool - depends on the team
example we use google meet for our meetings mostly
while some of the other teams use zoom by default

I am curious how this would work... When I create an event and add an attendee sometimes it requires a location because it is for a meal or meetup in town, other times I want a conferencing link which could be a generated zoom, google meets or my personal zoom room.
What would a setting look like that default selects the location/conferencing link?

Danny Hatcher (Customer Support) I really like the way Outlook 365/Teams handle this. When creating an event there is a toggle called "Online", if it is toggled, A teams meeting link is automatically generated and added in addition to any location that might be mentioned.
Implementing something like this would, of course, require Morgen to ask a user to connect a video conferencing solution, mark it as default, the video conferencing solution having a meeting creation API, and Morgen supporting it (so - making adding a new video conferencing solution "more expensive", if tis a thing).
