The meeting code is the string of letters at the end of the meeting link. You don't have to enter the hyphens.
You can only use meeting nicknames with people in your organization.
If your organization has purchased and installed a Meet hardware device, you can also type the meeting code or nickname into that device.
Sometimes there isn’t enough time to schedule a meeting and book a room. With Meet, you can join an impromptu video meeting by clicking the meeting link URL sent to you in a text or email.
Click the meeting link sent to you in a chat message or email.
Follow the onscreen prompts to join the meeting.
An existing participant might need to approve you if you try to join another organization’s meeting or don't have a Google Account.
A phone number is added to video meetings only if administrators turn on the dial-in feature.
Other participants should always verify that the person who dials in is the correct participant. Anyone who dials in counts toward the maximum meeting limit and regular call charges apply.
Note: If you try to dial in to a meeting created by a Calendar event before the event has started, or before a user has started the meeting, you get an error that the PIN is not recognized.
You can dial in during the scheduled meeting time using one of the following methods:
Enter the phone number that’s in the Google Calendar event or meeting invitation.Then, enter the PIN and #.
From the Meet or Calendar app, tap the phone number.The PIN is automatically entered.
Select a meeting from the list of scheduled events using your Google meeting room hardware remote.
You can also enter the meeting code or nickname.
You don't need a Google Account to participate in Meet video meetings. However, if you don’t have a Google Account, the meeting organizer or someone from the organization must grant you access to the meeting.
Note: If you are not signed into a Google or Gmail account, you cannot join using your mobile device.
