If you want users’ absences to appear in Google Calendar, you can enable Google sync. This allows the system to send calendar entries for booked leave.

📌 Note: Google sync is a one-way integration from TeamSeer to Google Calendar.

Understand how Google sync works

  • Absences are automatically added to users’ Google Calendars.

  • Sync runs approximately every 10 minutes.

  • Events created in Google Calendar don’t appear in TeamSeer.


Enable Google sync

  1. Click HR Admin, then click Setup.

  2. Click Google Sync.

  3. Click User preferences.

  4. Set the value to Yes for required users.

  5. Click Save.


Install the TeamSeer app

Before enabling sync:

  • A Google administrator must install the TeamSeer app.

  • Install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

📌 Note: Admin access to Google Workspace is required for this step.


Sync existing calendar entries

If absences were added before setup:

  1. Click HR Admin, then click Setup.

  2. Click Google Sync.
