Good to know

Your calendar is read on your Mac, directly from Google. It is never sent to Jiva. Jiva works with Google Calendar today; Outlook is not supported yet.

If something goes wrong

The row says “Reconnect needed”

Google stopped accepting the sign-in. Click Reconnect… and allow access again. Reminders are paused until you do.

A meeting is missing

Click Sync. With Only meetings with a video link on, Jiva skips events that have no Zoom, Meet, Teams or Webex link.
