How It Works
Once you configure your preferred provider, Easy!Appointments automatically creates a video meeting whenever a customer books an eligible service.
The booking confirmation includes:
- Date and time
- Meeting link
- Appointment details
- Calendar information
Your customers simply click the meeting link when the appointment starts.
Which Provider Should You Choose?
The right choice depends on your workflow.
Choose Jitsi Meet if you value open-source software, privacy, and flexibility.
Choose Google Meet if your business already relies on Google Workspace and Google Calendar.
Since Easy!Appointments supports both options, you can choose the solution that fits your organization best.
