Calendar and Meetings Next to Your Conversations
Plan meetings in a calendar that runs inside Sover, on servers you host. Start a video meeting at once or schedule one with colleagues and a meeting link, and keep the calendar standalone or connect it to Google Calendar or Microsoft Exchange.
Overview
Your Schedule, in the App Where Your Team Works
Sover includes a calendar for your meetings, running on your own servers beside your chats and video conferences.
Start a video meeting at once, or schedule one with its participants and a Sover meeting link in the same step. Invitations, changes and reminders reach people inside Sover. The calendar can run on its own or connect to Google Calendar or Microsoft Exchange, and the Outlook plugin lets people schedule meetings and join Sover video calls from Outlook.
Capabilities
Meetings, from the First Click to the Reminder
-
Start a Meeting Now
Start Now opens a Sover video meeting in one step, without filling in an event form.
-
Schedule with a Video Link
Give the meeting a name, a date and a start and end time, or make it all day. Add participants and a description, and attach a link to a Sover video meeting.
-
Create a Meeting Link
Create a link to a video meeting in one step and send it to the colleagues who should join.
-
Calendars in Color
Each calendar has its own color. Choose which calendars the week view shows, and your choice is kept for your next visit.
-
Invitations and Reminders in Sover
Participants are invited automatically, told when a meeting changes or is canceled, and reminded before it starts, by a calendar bot in Sover.
-
Repeats and Replies
Repeat a meeting daily or weekly, and see which participants have accepted, declined or answered maybe.
One Meeting
From the Calendar to the Call, All in Sover
A meeting is planned, announced, joined and followed up in one application, on your own servers.
-
Schedule It
Create the event with its participants, and tick the box that adds a Sover video meeting link.
-
Invite in Sover
Participants receive the invitation from the calendar bot in Sover, and the organizer sees who has accepted, declined or answered maybe.
-
Remind Before It Starts
A reminder arrives in Sover before the meeting starts, for the organizer and every participant who has not declined.
-
Meet and Follow Up
Join the video meeting from the link in the event. Afterward, the AI assistant can summarize the conversation; review the summary before you rely on it.
Illustration. The calendar runs in the Sover web and desktop apps; the AI assistant is available subject to your deployment.
Connections
On Its Own, or Connected to Your Calendar System
Your deployment runs the Sover calendar on its own or connects it to one external calendar system, selected in its settings.
-
Standalone
The calendar runs entirely in your Sover deployment, with no external calendar connected.
-
Google Calendar
Sover imports events from a year before to a year after setup, then synchronizes every five minutes.
-
Microsoft Exchange
The calendar connects to Microsoft Exchange and imports its events. Confirm the synchronization behavior for your release before you rely on it.
Outlook Plugin
View your calendar, schedule meetings and join Sover video calls from Outlook. The plugin covers calendar and meetings, not chat.
How It Works
Your Calendar Runs on Your Servers
The calendar is part of the Sover deployment you operate, so you decide what it connects to and who uses it.
-
Host It with Sover
The calendar runs in your Sover deployment, on infrastructure you control, together with messaging and video conferencing.
-
Choose the Mode
Keep the calendar standalone, or connect it to Google Calendar or Microsoft Exchange in the deployment settings.
-
Enable It for Your Apps
Enable the calendar for the Sover web and desktop apps in your configuration, and confirm the clients your people will use.
-
Add Outlook and Agents
Roll out the Outlook plugin where people schedule in Outlook, and let agents read calendars through the Bot API and help with invitations and rescheduling.
Included
What Is Included, and Where the Limits Are
Included
-
Calendar. A week view with color-coded calendars you choose to show, in the Sover web and desktop apps.
-
Meetings. Start Now, scheduled and all-day events with participants and a description, and links to Sover video meetings.
-
Repeating events. Daily and weekly repetition.
-
Notifications. Invitations, change and cancellation notices, and reminders from a calendar bot in Sover.
-
Calendar connections. Standalone operation, or a connection to Google Calendar or Microsoft Exchange selected for the deployment.
-
Outlook plugin. Calendar viewing, meeting scheduling and joining Sover video calls from Outlook.
-
Calendar access for agents. Bot API methods that read calendar events and a user’s list of calendars.
Stated Limits
-
Web and desktop first. The calendar is enabled in the Sover web and desktop apps. Calendar support in the Android and iOS apps is not confirmed, so check the clients your people use.
-
One connection mode per deployment. Standalone, Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange are selected in the deployment settings; do not assume they operate together.
-
Exchange synchronization needs confirming. Immediate synchronization, confirmation of outgoing changes, attachments and some shared-calendar behaviors are not confirmed. Check your Sover configuration and Outlook build before you commit.
-
The Outlook plugin is not a chat client. It covers calendar and meetings only; chat, file sharing and message search stay in the Sover apps.
-
Connections add dependencies. Connecting an external calendar system can introduce an external dependency. Review the data flows for a restricted network.

Can Sover integrate with Outlook?
Yes. Sover has an Outlook plugin for calendar and meetings. It is not a chat client; confirm the supported Outlook version and deployment configuration for the planned rollout.
Can Sover help teams follow up after meetings?
Call transcription and conversation summaries can help participants review a discussion. Check the assistant configuration and output available in the deployment, and have people review the result before using it as an agreed decision record.
Does on-premises deployment mean there are no external dependencies?
Not automatically. Push services, identity providers, calendar systems, AI services, and other integrations can introduce external dependencies. Review the actual data flows and enabled services when designing a restricted-network deployment.
Can Sover replace every collaboration tool we already use?
Evaluate it against the workflows you actually need. Messaging, calls, workspaces, and integrations may address several requirements, but specialist workflows, migrations, and external systems need their own scope and validation.
