Google Meet's new feature allows you to make cloud-encrypted 1:1 video calls without creating a prior meeting link.
Within the call, you will have access to the latest Meet features.
It is rolling out to all Google Workspace customers.
Google has announced that it is rolling out a new feature on its video communication service Google Meet, which will allow users to make cloud-encrypted 1:1 video calls without creating a prior meeting link.
“You can now make cloud-encrypted 1:1 video calls to other users in your organisation using the Meet mobile app. Previously, you had to create a meeting link ahead of time, which could then be shared in a calendar invite, chat, or email. Now you can place a Meet call on your mobile app directly to a colleague, ringing their mobile device,” the tech giant said in a Workspace Updates blogpost on November 2.

The new feature is rolling out to all Google Workspace customers.
In our opinion, this feature will be beneficial as you no longer need to create a meeting link in advance, which streamlines the process of initiating a video call. It’s a quicker and more direct way to connect with colleagues.
Recently, Google introduced a new, simplified mobile experience that makes taking calls on-the-go easier and less distracting. Now, when you join Meet from your mobile device, Google will automatically detect whether you’re in-motion and prompt you to use On-the-Go mode. According to the tech giant, introducing the On-the-Go meeting experience makes it easier for you to focus on critical meeting details, cut down on external distractions, and save bandwidth with an audio-only experience. Google also announced that users in the video mode can now send emoji reactions during a meeting, which is a non-disruptive way to engage and participate in meetings without interrupting the speaker.
