Google made Meet free for everyone last month. It also introduced a Google Meet shortcut in Gmail so users can easily join a meeting or start a new one.

The Google Meet shortcut is placed on the left tab of Gmail. You can tap on “Start a meeting” or “Join a meeting” to open Google Meet directly from Gmail. Just in case you're someone who does not require the Google Meet shortcut and would instead prefer not having it all, here's how you can do it.
