Non-Google users can now book Google Workspace resources from their preferred calendar services.
Google Workspace is introducing an open beta that allows non-Google users, such as those using Microsoft Outlook, to book shared resources like rooms, projectors, or company cars directly from their own calendar service. Admins can grant booking permissions to specific non-Google users or entire domains via the Admin Console. Once configured, non-Google users can reserve a resource by adding its email address to a calendar event guest list. Additionally, for organizations using Microsoft Outlook, admins can configure Calendar Interop to allow Outlook users to find resources by name and view availability before sending an invite.
