More About Google Meet

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit for free Google Meet group calls?

As of October 2022, group meetings on the free tier of Google Meet with more than three participants are limited to one hour. One-on-one meetings can still last up to 24 hours. This limit was re-implemented starting in October 2022, having been previously extended during the pandemic.

Can I unmute myself in Google Meet using the spacebar like in Zoom?

Yes. Starting with a rollout from September 9, 2022, Google Meet introduced a push-to-talk feature. By holding down the spacebar, you can temporarily unmute yourself, and releasing it mutes you again. This feature is off by default but can be enabled in Google Meet's settings.

What happened to Google Duo and Google Meet?

Google began merging its two communication apps, Duo and Meet, in 2022. The Duo app received an update starting August 4, 2022, featuring the Meet logo and gaining Google Meet's meeting features like scheduling and larger participant limits, while retaining Duo's casual calling features. The app was renamed to Google Meet, with the original Meet app eventually being phased out for the unified experience.
