It's easy to join a Google Meet —through an invitation link.

Once you receive a Google Meet invitation link, it's easy to join a meeting by clicking the link for the scheduled date and time. If you don't have the link handy, simply enter the Meeting ID on the app homepage.

You can enter the Meeting ID at any time on both your desktop or mobile devices.
While the apps look slightly different, the process of joining a Google Meet link looks about the same. You can find this link in your email or messages, depending on how the invite was sent.
Here's how to do both.

1. Click on the meeting invite URL that the host shared via email or text.
2. This will load the Google Meet website which will allow you to join the meeting.
3. Approve the request for permission to use your computer's audio and camera.

Depending on the meeting's set-up, you may enter the meeting right away, you may need to wait for the host to arrive first or you may be placed into a waiting room that the host controls.
