What’s changing
You can now find, install, and use third-party applications all without having to leave Google Meet. At the top of the activities panel, you’ll see a “Featured add-ons” category — from here, it takes two clicks to install and begin using apps such as Confluence, Figma, Lucidspark, Miro, Polly and Read.ai in your meetings.
You can use the “Get add-ons” button to open the Google Workspace Marketplace to browse additional add-ons for Meet. Note that in some cases, admins may have pre-installed add-ons for you or have turned off access to certain add-ons.
Whether you’re leveraging the white boarding capabilities of Miro or Lucidspark, or using Figma to explore design possibilities in real time — you can do it all within Google Meet, without switching tabs or opening additional applications. Further, since these add-ons open directly in Meet, you can share your screen with all participants, even those who don’t have the add-on or are on an unsupported platform.
Additional details
The Miro-Meet integration is now available via the Miro add-on
In 2022, we announced the Miro integration within Google Meet — at that time, Miro would open in a separate tab with Google Meet in the sidebar. Beginning today, Miro will open directly in Meet, allowing you to leverage Miro’s rich capabilities designed for innovation without leaving Meet. With this update, users can access the Miro integration with Meet by installing the Miro add-on in the Google Workspace Marketplace. For more information about how the Miro experience is changing, see this Community forum post.
