Back in September, Google previewed how Chat will let you make one-on-one Meet calls without having to use URLs.

Similar to classic Hangouts, this feature is now rolling out in the version of Google Chat inside Gmail.

When you’re messaging someone from the Chat tab, you will soon see buttons in the top-right corner that let you start an audio or video call.

You’ll also see a “Meet icon in the chat roster,” while missed calls will be marked in red. .

For the moment, instant Meet calling is only available for one-on-one conversations and requires the Gmail app even if you have the standalone Google Chat client installed.

This feature will allow you to seamlessly switch between chat to a video or audio call when needed, helping you collaborate and move your work forward
