Improving the connection between Google Calendar events and Google Meet calls
For each video call, Meet attempts to connect the right Calendar event to determine:
Who receives meeting records (ex. Gemini notes, recordings)
Who is included in the continuous meeting chat in Google Chat
Who can join the meeting without having to be manually admitted by the host
Reusing the same meeting code across multiple events can sometimes lead to ambiguity and unexpected behavior such as meeting artifacts being shared with the wrong guests (or no guests at all). We recently announced a change to reduce this ambiguity by stopping automatically copying Meet codes when duplicating Calendar events.
We are now fixing this ambiguity by having each Meet video call be tied to the initial Calendar event where it was created. This gives predictability and transparency about which guests receive notes, messages in Google Chat, recordings and other details from the meeting.
When users manually paste an old meeting code into a new Calendar event, they’ll see a dialog highlighting that the Meet code is still tied to the initial event. Codes created outside of Calendar (like instant meetings from meet.google.com) will remain unlinked.
For example:
- If you reuse the meeting code from an old Calendar (Event A) on a new Calendar (Event B), meeting artifacts will only be shared with the host, co-hosts, and guests of the old Calendar event (Event A), and not guests of the new Calendar event (Event B).
- If you reuse a meeting code created from meet.google.com on a new Calendar event, meeting artifacts will only be shared with the meetings host and co-hosts, and not guests of the new Calendar event.
Additional details
- If you use Apple Calendar to create Google Calendar events with a Google Meet meeting code, the code will be updated automatically. This change ensures that each event uses a unique meeting code. Users receive an email informing them about the update.
