One of the main selling points of Google Meet is that most people already have it. You can use it with a Google account (or without one) and it's free.
To join a Google Meet meeting is the link to the meeting. You have the option to sign in with your Google account and join it, or join a meeting without an account.
Link to Google Meet
To join a Google Meet meeting, you need to be connected to it. The meeting link can be;
- Found in the invitation to the meeting
- Shared directly by the meeting organizer via email or chat app
Once you have the link, you can join the meeting. Note that you won't be able to join a meeting that hasn't started. If you enter the meeting before it has started, you will be placed in a queue. Only when the meeting organizer allows you to join the meeting will you be authorized to enter.
Google Meet joins a meeting
