How to Create a Google Meet Link

Create a Google Meet link on desktop

1. Open Google Meet in your browser and sign in to your Google account.
2. Click New meeting.
3. Choose Create a meeting for later.
4. Copy the meeting link from the popup.
5. Send the link by email, chat, or calendar invitation.

Use this method when you need a link now but do not want to start the call yet.

Schedule a Google Meet link in Google Calendar

1. Open Google Calendar and create a new event.
2. Add the event name, date, and time.
3. Add Google Meet video conferencing if a Meet link is not already included.
4. Add guests, then save the event.
5. Send the invitation so participants receive the meeting link and calendar reminder.

For planned or recurring meetings, Calendar is the safer option because the meeting link stays attached to the event and participants receive the same joining details. See the focused tutorial on how to create a Google Meet from Google Calendar for a full walkthrough.

Create a Google Meet link on your phone

Open the Google Meet app, tap New, then choose Create link. You can copy the link or use the Share option. To schedule the call, choose Schedule and finish setting up the event in Google Calendar.

How to share a Google Meet link

Copy the full meet.google.com link and send it through email, chat, or a calendar invitation. For a scheduled meeting, include the date, time, and time zone instead of sending the link by itself. Before sharing a work or school meeting publicly, check your organization’s access settings.

Can you create a Google Meet link in advance?

Yes. On desktop, choose Create a meeting for later. On mobile, choose Create link. For a future meeting with a fixed date, use Google Calendar so the link, guest list, and reminders stay together.

Do Google Meet links expire?

Meeting codes can expire, and the timing depends on how the meeting was created. For recurring or important meetings, use a recurring Google Calendar event instead of relying on an old standalone link.

Why can’t I create a Google Meet link?

You must be signed in to a Google account to create a meeting or add Meet to a Calendar event. With a work or school account, your administrator may also need to enable Google Meet for your organization.

If the option is still missing, confirm that you are using the intended Google account and that your browser or Meet app is up to date. For repeatable team instructions, explore our software training tutorials.
