Google Meet: Installing the Web App

The Google Meet App is a video conferencing application that is available for Android and iOS devices in the Google Play and the App Store.  

About the App

The Google Meet app operates as a separate, dedicated window, providing a more stable, dedicated environment and reducing the risk of browser-related lags. 

How to Install the App

1. Mobile Device:

   1. Android: visit the Google Play Store, search for Google Meet, and select Install.

   2. iOS Device: visit the Apple App Store, search for Google Meet, and select Install.

2. Desktop (Mac or PC):

   1. Open the Chrome Browser.

   2. Navigate to meet.google.com.

   3. Click the Install icon on the top right of the screen — opposite the URL — and follow the instructions. (This icon may look different on different computers. It may have the word "install" or simply a computer icon with a down arrow next to it.)

4. With the app installed, when hosting or joining a meeting, the App Window should open automatically when you host or join a Meet meeting. If it doesn’t, launch the App by clicking Open In App on the top right of the screen opposite the URL. 

Video instructions for installing the App are also available on Panopto.
