Join a meeting with new options on the Google Meet landing page
Update
January 25, 2021: We updated this post to reflect a change in the rollout timing for both Rapid and Scheduled Release domains. Rollout to Rapid release domains will now start today, January 25, 2021, with Scheduled release domains planned for February 8, 2021.Quick launch summary
We’re changing the options for a more tailored experience when Google Workspace users join or start a meeting from meet.google.com.
When you click “New meeting,” you’ll now see the following three options:
- Create a meeting for later: Generate joining information for a new meeting. You can save this information to use later.
- Start an instant meeting: Join a meeting in one click, without first going to the Meet greenroom. Once in the meeting, you can add others or copy the joining information to share. Please note, your camera and microphone will be on automatically if you select this option. You can turn them off once in the meeting.
- Schedule in Google Calendar: Go to Calendar in a new tab to create an event with Meet conferencing details automatically populated.
