New Google Meet Global Dialing subscription expands telephony coverage for Meet
What’s changing
We’re introducing a new Google Meet Global Dialing subscription, which will:
- Enable users to dial out to more than 100 countries directly from a Meet call. This is currently only available to 2 countries.
- Increase the number of countries users can dial in from to over 80, with more countries coming soon.
- Make it easy for admins to monitor and audit call usage with the Google Voice audit log.
There is no subscription fee; you only pay for the calls your organization makes at the per-minute rate.

Why you’d use it
This new add-on subscription will help improve access to video calls by enabling outbound calls to global destinations and dial-in to meetings from more countries.
Once enabled, your users will be able to:
- Quickly add a phone to a meeting by calling someone, or use the “Call Me” feature to use your phone for audio, now available in more than 100 countries.
- Easily dial in to join a Meet call when you don’t have an internet connection, have limited bandwidth, or are joining from the road, in more than 80 countries.
In addition, the Google Voice audit log will make it easy for admins to see a breakdown of all your call costs across Meet and Voice in a single place.
Additional details
The Meet Global Dialing subscription is currently available to customers based in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Belgium.
