New Google Meet features for Ukraine

Google Meet is a Google’s video conferencing tool, available for all users within the Google Workspace platform. In the summer of 2021, the platform released several updates, among which were features to add subtitles, open work areas during calls, and add notes once the conferences were over. 

In October of the same year, Google Meet introduced a new update that would make it easier for Ukrainians to join calls. To explore all current capabilities, you can check our detailed guide on Google Meet features.

Communicating without the Internet

Previously, there were 2 ways in which you could join a meet Google call: 

• From a link through the PC version. 
• From a cell phone, if you downloaded the Google Meet app

The function of connecting to video conferencing via a phone number was already available in many countries. This makes it possible to communicate even if somebody has a poor Internet connection or no Internet connection at all. This Global Dialing functionality ensures that teams stay connected regardless of their location. For a practical step-by-step approach, you can also explore our guide on how to conduct video meetings in Google Meet when there is no light or internet.

If you choose the second option, you will be given a phone number through which you can connect the call. You have to provide a pin code to join, which is listed next to the phone number. There is a unique pin-code for each meeting.
