Η Google ανακοίνωσε τον Ιούνιο ότι θα ξεκινήσει να ενσωματώνει την υπηρεσία διασκέψεων Meet στην application Gmail on Android and iOS devices.
Development of this feature progressed for the iOS version of the app and was released last weekteam, the company has announced that today it will also be available on Android devices.
With the integration, users will be able to easily participate in video conferencing directly from Gmail to Android.
A dedicated Meet tab will allow users to controln their schedule, join a meeting, create a new meeting, and more without having to switch between apps. Users can also use a code provided to them to join a meeting.
The integration is part of a broader plan by the company to make Gmail a central one communication application. As part of these efforts, the company is redesigning the Gmail app for business customers.
G Suite users will see more features added to the app, such as Chat and Rooms integration. The Meet tab will be available to all users by default, but those who want to disable it can do so from the settings and the "Show the Meet tab for video calls" option.
The integration is currently available to all G Suite users as well as anyone with a Google Account. The availability is gradual and it may take up to 15 days for the full availability of the feature to everyone.
Google has done it free service for all consumers by 30 September. However, after this date some features of the application may be restricted to G Suite accounts.
