Google has announced that its video collaboration tool, Meet, is coming to Gmail for mobile.
The new feature will allow users to participate in video conferencing directly from their phone inbox, and not just through the PC version of Gmail.

On the Meet tab, users will need to click on New Meeting to start a meeting, retrieve a meeting link to share, or schedule a meeting in Google Calendar.
Users will also be able to join a meeting with one code, by selecting this option.
"If you do not want Meet to appear as a tab in Gmail, go to Settings from the hamburger menu in the upper left corner of your inbox, tap on your account, scroll down and uncheck Meet," says Yamasaki.
In May, Google announced the completion of the free availability of Google Meet.
The video conferencing tool, originally created for businesses, is now accessible for anyone interested by address meet.google.com .
