Meet supports dial-in phone calls to a video meeting for up to 8 hours. The maximum call length can be shorter if the carrier has specific restrictions.

Solution: 
When the call is dropped after 8 hours, dial back in to the meeting.

Sometimes, if you use Chrome Browser version 64 on Microsoft^® Windows 7^®, the browser freezes when you try to join a meeting.

Solutions:

• Before joining the video meeting, in the address bar, enter chrome://restart to restart Chrome Browser. 
• Update Chrome Browser.

If you share a window in Meet, participants can’t see the menus and options in the shared window. 

Solution:
Share your entire screen instead of a specific window.

If you try to share a Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® or Keynote^® presentation in Play or Slide Show view in a window, the slideshow does not appear to other viewers because the presentation opens in full screen mode, and you're only sharing a window.

Solution: 
Before opening the presentation, share your whole screen.

After upgrading to the G Suite Enterprise edition, existing Calendar events with Meet video meetings do not include a dial-in number.

2. Save the event. 
3. Re-add the video meeting.

When a user adds a room to an all-day event, the room is scheduled in UTC, a coordinated universal time, from midnight to midnight the next day, regardless of the room's time zone. This specification can cause the meeting room resource to be declined even if it appears to be available. Google is aware of this issue.

Solution: 
When adding a meeting room resource in a different time zone, schedule the event for 24 hours instead of selecting All day.
