Learn about the new Google Meet app

Google Duo and Google Meet have combined into a new Meet app for video calling and meetings. The Google Duo app and icon are now Google Meet .

Tip: For Meet (original) users, you can uninstall Meet (original) after you migrate to the new Meet app .

Use the new Meet app for:

• Meetings: The ability to create or join a cloud-encrypted Google Meet meeting with a link when you’re ready. 
• 1:1 and group video calling: The classic Duo end-to-end encrypted experience that involves ringing a number or group directly. Your call will have a lock icon and an in-call watermark confirming it is end-to-end-encrypted. 

Available features and encryption methods are different between video calling and meetings.

You’re still able to make unlimited video calls with no time limits on your phone. Your conversation history, contacts, and messages remain. The new experience supports Google’s secure video calling solution:

• At no charge
• With more features to connect with others
