# Getting started
# Purpose
TrueConf Calendar Connector is a software solution for synchronizing the Microsoft Exchange corporate calendar with TrueConf Server. This solution enables seamless integration of your corporate calendar with the TrueConf communication system.
Thanks to TrueConf Calendar Connector, you can view and accept invitations to the events created in the Microsoft Exchange corporate calendar directly in your TrueConf application. Additionally, TrueConf Calendar Connector displays those corporate calendar events that are not linked to video conferences. Now offline events created in the corporate calendar can be tracked in TrueConf client applications.
# How it works
TrueConf Calendar Connector synchronizes events from Microsoft Exchange with TrueConf Server. When you create a meeting in your corporate calendar (e.g., in Outlook), the system automatically creates an event in TrueConf Server. Below is a diagram showing how TrueConf Calendar Connector works:
Additionally, if the event is related to a video conference, the software provides a link for participating in the event. Participants receive an invitation with all the details: time, topic, and a direct link for joining the conference.
