The integration of Google Meet with Gmail has “troubled” to several users because those who do not use this video call service have noticed that now you see a tab called Meet for video conferencing within the Gmail app for Android and iOS.
If you are one of those users who want to see the Meet tab in Gmail more, don’t worry, you can disable the video calling service in your Gmail account simply and quickly.
How to disable Google Meet in the Gmail app
Before we show you the steps you have to take to disable Google Meet in the Gmail app is important to mention that this tutorial works for both Android and iOS, as the app is exactly the same on both mobile operating systems.
- Within the Gmail app, you must click on the three little stripes located at the top left of the screen.
- A menu with different options will open on the left side of the screen, scroll to the end of the menu, and click on Settings.
- Click on your email address.
- Look for the option that says Meet and then click on the blue popcorn which is next to the “Show Meet tab for video calls.”
It should be noted that the tutorial does not apply to all Gmail accounts you have, you will have to carry out the same steps in all the email addresses that you use within Gmail.
Can I continue to use Google Meet if I disable this option?
No, you will not be able to continue using Google’s video calling service. By disabling this option, the Meet tab will no longer be visible, so you will not be able to enter Meet from Gmail to make video calls (you will have to download the app from the Play Store).
Without much more to add, if you are looking for an alternative to Zoom We recommend using Google Meet, the service is free and allows you to make video calls with up to 100 participants at the same time.
