Webinar Staff "add to calendar" link for Google Calendar and Outlook ?

I'm testing out the best way to create a webinar series.

I've created it how I would need it to show for my real event coming up in a few months but when I test the registration, it doesn't give me an option to add it to Google Calendar which is going to be missing a large chunk of our audience.

I've chosen the option to have them register for all sessions at once. It only shows the options for "Outlook Calendar" and "iCal."

Is this a glitch that can be fixed?

Here's a screenshot. Same thing on the registration page, right after submitting registration info.

How has this not been addressed yet?  We are CONSTANTLY dealing with our presenters not having events in their calendar because this process is so ridiculous. PLEASE FIX THIS.

Any update on this? Requiring users to download .ics files and upload is not making people happy!

Guys this is woefully insufficient. Requiring users to download ics files and upload them to google caledar is a sign of lazy development. Every other platform calls a google calendar event page for the user to save. In fact most users of Google Calendar don't even know how to work this ics upload process.

I counted the number of mouse clicks if you do it perfectly. 12 clicks to add a calendar entry.  This should be 2 clicks!

Hi acs_jay ,

When you download the .ics file from GoToWebinar, you can 'save' this first, before deploying / opening by the calendar app of your choosing.  There's no way to 'automatically' do this for Google Calendar.

Is there an easy way to automatically add new webinars to a google calendar that we have published?  Can't seem to figure it out.

Hi Joseph,

The GoToMeeting Outlook Plug-in is specifically for GoToMeeting, it does schedule or add GoToWebinars to your Outlook Calendar.

To add your webinar to your Outlook calendar, you need to double click the .ics file that is downloaded to your computer. Outlook will then ask you if you want to add it to your calendar.

Hi Elena,
Sorry for that.  There is a slight difference in experiences seen between Organizers and Registrants of GoToWebinars, where Orgs can send themselves the Attendee invitation template via email, and publish them through several different media options-- but there is not an 'add to calendar' option on the Manage Webinar page.

Attendees on the other hand, do have the ability to add a GoToWebinar confirmation to several different calendar types after registering.

You will likely receive a reminder email from the system which you can then add to your calendar manually if you like.  This reminder will have your Organizer join link inside with instructions etc.
