How to Disable Google Meet in Gmail
Google has introduced the Google Meet option which has replaced the Google Hangouts and Google Chat options. With Google Meet one can do video conferencing with up to 100 people for up to 60 minutes. Thus, Google is promoting its new feature Google Meet in the Gmail by making this option available in the sidebar of the Gmail.
However, this option is often not needed and consumes ample space of the Gmail sidebar. Consequently, many people usually disable the Google Meet option because they find it useless and space-occupying. This article describes the steps to disable the Google Meet option in Gmail.
