How to Connect Cortana to Gmail Account in Windows 10

Windows 10’s revolutionary feature Cortana is a digital assistant for the users. It looks up information on the computer as well as internet when ordered. You can either type in your query or give voice commands to this virtual assistant. Cortana is also available on other platforms, such as Android and iOS, in select markets.

Cortana works best when you sign in and let her use data from your device, other Microsoft services, and third-party services you choose to connect. If you choose not to sign into Cortana on Windows, you can still chat with Cortana and use her to help you search the web, documents stored in Microsoft services like OneDrive, and your Windows device.

With Fall Creators Update, Microsoft has added the ability to connect your Gmail account from Google to Cortana. Like with other connected services, connecting your Gmail account will allow you to use Cortana to access information like your contacts, calendar details, and email content from Gmail to give you personalized experiences and relevant suggestions in Microsoft products that offer Cortana experiences. Moreover, for certain operations, it also supports voice commands.
