Use Google Meet to hold video meetings with people inside or outside of your organization. You can join from a computer, mobile device, or conference room.

Schedule meetings

If you schedule a meeting in Google Calendar, the event includes a Meet video meeting link. Video meetings also have a dial-in number for people to call in for audio access. You can also add someone by phone to a video meeting.

Dial in from a phone

When you start or create an event for a video meeting, a phone number and PIN is automatically added to the meeting. Anyone can use the number to dial in (including external users and people using other G Suite editions).

All G Suite editions include a U.S. phone number. G Suite Basic, Business, Enterprise, and Enterprise for Education editions also support international numbers. Regular call charges apply.
