How do I connect Google, Microsoft 365 or Zoom for interviews?
When you schedule an interview, LiveRec can create the meeting for you in Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Connect the account once from the Schedule interview window; after that LiveRec creates the link and, for Google and Microsoft, adds the interview to your calendar when you send it. If you would rather not connect, paste a link instead.
Steps
- Open Interviews and choose Schedule interview.
- Under the meeting-provider cards, choose the one you use. The block shows Connect Google Calendar, Connect Microsoft 365 calendar or Zoom, with a button: Connect Google, Connect Microsoft or Connect Zoom.
- Choose the button. LiveRec opens the provider so you can allow access. Allow it.
- You return to LiveRec, which shows "Connected as" and your account email. When you send the interview, LiveRec creates the Meet link, Teams meeting or Zoom meeting.
What does each connection do?
| Provider | When you send an interview |
|---|---|
| LiveRec creates the Meet link and adds the interview to your Google Calendar | |
| Microsoft 365 | LiveRec creates the Teams meeting and adds the interview to your Outlook calendar |
| Zoom | LiveRec creates the Zoom meeting, and Zoom invites everyone |
Moving an interview that already has a meeting keeps the same link.
How do I paste a link instead?
Choose Paste a link instead (or "Meet link", "Teams link" or "Zoom link" for that provider) and paste yours. To switch back, choose Create the meeting automatically instead.
How do I disconnect or reconnect?
Once connected, the same block shows Disconnect. If the provider stops accepting the saved connection, the block says so and offers Reconnect Google, Reconnect Microsoft or Reconnect Zoom. Choose it to connect again so automatic meetings keep working.
Common problems
- "Automatic Meet links need Google Calendar to be set up for your workspace. Paste your Meet link for now." Automatic links are not available for your workspace. The same message exists for Teams and Zoom. Use a pasted link.
- "Google Calendar was not connected: you chose Cancel." You declined at the provider (Zoom says Decline). You can connect any time from Schedule interview.
- "That Google link was incomplete. Start again from Schedule interview." Close the tab and start from the Schedule interview window.
- The Connect button is unavailable. Connecting needs the permission to manage integrations. Ask a teammate whose role includes it. See Roles and permissions.
If a provider is shown with a Test mode tag, a test account stands in and no real account is used.
