Setting up registration for Google Meet
Our organization just moved from using zoom to Google meet for our webinars, but I can’t seem to find an easy way to get people to register ahead for the event. This is a problem because you can’t invite someone to a Google meet without their email, and just sharing the meeting link means risking that no one shows up.
I’ve tried using Google forms, but I want to check if anyone knows of an easier way to get this done

As noted in my earlier discussion with Ganiyat, there's no way to re-create the Zoom registration experience with Google Meet. You won't know who has decided to join that meeting or not unless you invite them through a calendar invite.
Having said that, Google has just rolled out a new way to share calendar invites - you no longer need a person's email address.
So, you can set up a calendar event, with a Google Meet video call attached, and then share that link anywhere you like and people can RSVP to the event. They'll be able to add the event to their calendar, and you'll see who has registered for the event.
Details on how to share an event with just a link are here: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/13839531

hi Ganiyat Lawal
Forms are a pretty easy option to set up but out of curiosity how did you run this when you were using zoom? Can you not use the same setup?
- To share an event, you must sign in to Calendar with a personal Google Account.
So, sadly, it seems this entire feature isn't available for Workspace accounts.
I just tested it to verify, and I can't use it with my Workspace account.
So it's not a solution to your problem.

You can also use the Calendar feature called Appointment Schedule.
