How to Schedule a Recurring Google Meet (Daily Standup, Weekly Sync)

The key thing to know: a recurring Google Meet keeps the same meeting link for every occurrence. You create it once, invite your team once, and the link works every time the meeting repeats.

Here’s how to set it up.

Step 1: Create the Event in Google Calendar

Google Meet links are created through Google Calendar, not the Meet website directly.

Open Google Calendar
Click + Create or press C
Name your meeting (“Daily Standup,” “Weekly Team Sync,” etc.)
Set the date and time for the first occurrence

Step 2: Add a Google Meet Link

In the event creation panel:

Click Add Google Meet video conferencing
A Meet link is generated automatically

This same link will work for every recurrence of the event — attendees bookmark it once and it works forever. (For a one-off meeting instead, see how to schedule a Google Meet.)

Step 3: Set the Recurrence

Click More options to open the full event editor, then:

Click the date field — a dropdown appears
Select Custom or choose a preset:
- Every day (for daily standups)
- Every week on [day] (for weekly syncs)
- Every weekday (Mon–Fri)
Set an end date or choose “never” if the meeting runs indefinitely

For a daily standup:

Recurrence: Every weekday (Mon–Fri)
Duration: 15 or 30 minutes
End: never, or set a review date 3 months out

Step 4: Add Attendees and Save

Add attendees in the Guests field
Optionally add an agenda in the Description field — it’ll show up in every invite
Click Save
Google will ask: send invites to guests? Click Send

Each attendee receives a single invite that covers all future occurrences. The meeting link in the invite is permanent.

Managing the Recurring Series

Cancel one occurrence without deleting the series: Click the event → Edit → choose “This event” (not “All events”) → Delete

Change the time of all future occurrences: Click the event → Edit → change the time → choose “This and following events”

Add a new attendee to all future meetings: Click any occurrence → Edit → add the guest → choose “All events” → Save → Send update

Tips for Daily Standups

Keep it short on the invite: Set the duration to 15 minutes. People take async standups more seriously when the meeting is visibly time-boxed.

Put the agenda in the description: Even a static prompt (“What did you do yesterday? What are you doing today? Any blockers?”) helps the meeting start immediately rather than with a minute of silence.

Consider async instead: For teams in different timezones, tools like Geekbot (Slack) or Range let people post standup updates asynchronously — no one has to be live at the same time. For the live ones, you can record the Meet or save a transcript so absent teammates can catch up.

Why the Same Link Matters

The main advantage of creating a recurring event in Google Calendar (rather than scheduling separate meetings) is the persistent Meet link. Everyone has it in their calendar app, can click it from any occurrence, and doesn’t need to hunt for a new link each week.

If you use Zoom instead of Google Meet: the same approach works — create a recurring event in Google Calendar and add your Zoom link in the conferencing field or the description.

Setting Up Biweekly or Quarterly Meetings

Same process, different recurrence settings:

Every two weeks: Event → More options → Recurrence → Custom → Every 2 weeks on [day]

Monthly: Event → More options → Recurrence → Every month → choose “on the [1st/2nd/3rd/last] [weekday]” or a specific date

Quarterly: Google Calendar doesn’t have a native quarterly option. Workaround: set recurrence to every 3 months, or create individual events for each quarter manually.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.

Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.

On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
