4 ways to access Google Meet

Whether you’re working remotely, attending a virtual class, or hopping into a quick video call, Google Meet makes it simple to connect — no extra software required. But what many users don’t realize is that there are multiple convenient ways to access it.

Here are 4 easy ways to access Google Meet, so you can join or start a meeting in seconds.

✅ 1. Directly Through the Google Meet Website

The fastest way to start or join a meeting is to go straight to the source:

• Visit 👉 https://meet.google.com
• Click “New meeting” to start one
• Or enter a meeting code to join

You’ll need to be signed into your Google account.

Bonus: You can also schedule a meeting here and copy the link to share with others.

✅ 2. Via Google Calendar

If you schedule your meetings in Google Calendar, Google Meet is already built-in.

• Open Google Calendar
• Click “+ Create” to set up an event
• Click “Add Google Meet video conferencing”

Once added, Google will generate a unique Meet link for your event. All invitees will get that link in the calendar invite — easy access with one click.

✅ 3. From Gmail (Desktop or Mobile)

Google recently integrated Meet right into Gmail — no need to open another tab.

On desktop:

• Open Gmail
• In the left sidebar, click “Meet”
• Choose “New meeting” or “Join a meeting”

On mobile:

• Open the Gmail app
• Tap the Meet tab at the bottom
• Join or start a meeting instantly

This is perfect for quick, unscheduled video calls.

✅ 4. Using the Google Meet Mobile App

If you’re on the go, the official Google Meet app is the best way to join calls from your phone.

• Available on Android and iOS
• Sign in with your Google account
• Tap “New meeting” or “Join with a code”

The app is clean, fast, and supports screen sharing, captions, and multi-tile video layout.

🔐 Pro Tip: You Don’t Need a Google Account to Join

Anyone with the meeting link can join a Google Meet call — even without a Google account. They’ll just need to wait for the meeting host to approve them.
