Can't create or join a Meet video meeting

To create a new Meet video meeting or add a link in a Google Calendar event, you must be signed in to a Google Account. Adding a link to a Google Calendar event is only available for users who have access to Google Calendar.

If you can join a Meet video meeting but cannot create or add Meet video meetings, your administrator might need to turn on meetings for your organisation. Ask your administrator for more information.

Can't join or create meetings from chat conversations

If the meeting is turned off for your organisation, you cannot join or create any Chat meetings. Ask your administrator for help.

Scheduled meetings don't display

If you open Google Meet but don't find any scheduled meetings, you might not have any scheduled meetings. Only meetings scheduled through Google Calendar will show up on meet.google.com or in your Meet app.
Make sure that you're signed in to your Google Workspace account for work or school, or your personal Google Account. Make sure that you can check your Gmail on the same device or computer.

Why is 'Your meeting is full' displayed?

You can meet a maximum number of people according to your Google Workspace edition.

Business Starter, Frontline, Education Fundamentals, G Suite Basic: 100 participants
Business Standard, Enterprise Essentials, Essentials, G Suite Business, Google Workspace for Nonprofits: 150 participants
Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus: 500 participants

Tip: The limits are for the number of device connections. Multiple people can join from a conference room or a shared device.

Important: Meetings created by a personal Google Account have a limit of 100 participants.

For more information, go to Compare Google Workspace editions.

Why is a network problem displayed?

If a network transport timeout or firewall error is displayed, your group's network might not be configured for meetings. For example, a required UDP and TCP port might be blocked.

Contact your Google Workspace or network administrators and ask them to optimise your network for Google Meet.

Meet is showing the wrong time

To change the time displayed in Meet, change your Google Calendar time zone setting.
