How to install Google Meet on a computer

Google Meet is widely used in education and in some companies, offering excellent free online meeting services in a pandemic era. The one downside, however, is that the Google product doesn't have a desktop app (unlike Microsoft Teams and Zoom).

However, if you want to install Google Meet on your Windows PC, this isn't impossible.

First, visit meet.google.com in the updated version of Chrome.

Click the Menu button of Chrome browser (3 vertical dots), go to More Tools and click Create Shortcut.

You will now begin to create a Progressive Web App for Google Meet.

In the Create Shortcut menu , type Google Meet in the text input area and select Open as a Window .

A shortcut will now be created for the application on your desktop, which when clicked opens in a new window.

You can also pin apps to the taskbar and Start menu.

To uninstall an application, find the application entry in the Start menu and select Uninstall on the right-clicking menu.

Hope you are succesful.
