Contact if you're new to Cogram, and we'll get you set up with a free trial. ## Getting Started ### 1. Create your Cogram account [Register your account](https://app.cogram.com/auth/register) using your business email. Your email should match the email that you use to schedule meetings in your Outlook or Google calendar. Signups with personal emails are not supported. After clicking "Sign Up", Cogram will send you a confirmation email to verify your email. Click on the link in the email to confirm your account and sign in. If you do not receive a confirmation email within a few minutes after registering, contact . ### 2. Connect your calendar After signing in the first time, enter your first and last name and click continue. Cogram will then prompt you to connect a Google or Outlook calendar. You can also use the drop-down to enable Cogram to automatically join your meetings for note-taking. Select the calendar you use and sign in to your calendar to confirm the integration. If you need IT permissions to connect a calendar, follow these [instructions](/administration/authorizing-calendar-integration.md). ### 3. Go through Cogram's Quickstart Tutorial Follow the on-screen tooltips to learn how to invite Cogram for note-taking in a virtual meeting and how to view Cogram's notes after a meeting. ### 4.
