How to schedule a virtual meeting
Boomerang makes it ridiculously easy to schedule an in-person or virtual meeting. Simply install Boomerang for Gmail, then use any of our scheduling features - Share Free/Busy, Suggest Times, or Bookable Schedule. When setting up the email invite you simply choose Zoom or Google Meet as the location for virtual meeting.
"It even allows you to send a calendar invite with the Zoom link...when they select a time on the slots embedded in your email, you both get the event automatically added to your calendar!"
