Google Meet App

The app is currently in Beta, and some features may not function as expected.

Google Meet is a video conferencing service from Google. It is an enterprise-grade, secure video conferencing solution that makes it easy for users to collaborate via one-to-one or group audio and video calls.

The Google Meet app in Rocket.Chat allows you to start a video call from within Rocket.Chat, without having to switch tools. The call encryption between all users ensures a secure video conference. For this integration to work, users must be logged in to their Google accounts.
