Google Meet for Slack, instantly.
Send /meet to start a Google Meet in Slack and automatically share the link with all channel members.
Instant Meet is the Google Meet Slack integration that creates Google Meet links and Google Calendar events from slash commands such as /meet, /meeting, and /event.
The Google Meet Slack integration for busy teams
Instant Meet adds Slack commands that let your team start a Google Meet in Slack without leaving the conversation.
Use it to create a Google Calendar event from Slack, invite the right channel members, and share the meeting link in one step.
It is a lightweight alternative to manually opening Google Meet, creating a meeting, copying the link, returning to Slack, and inviting teammates one by one.
Works with Google Calendar
Record all instant video calls that occur on your team thanks to our Google Calendar integration.
All channel members will be invited to the call and will be able to access the link immediately.
In addition, thanks to Slack notifications, they will quickly find out when the meeting starts.
Use Google Meet for Slack videoconferences
All channel members will instantly see a button to enter the Google Meet room.
Add descriptive titles to let your colleagues know whether they should join or not, or turn on automatic titles in Settings and let Instant Meet name the event after the channel, like "Team updates meeting", whenever you launch /meet without typing one.
You can use the /meet command in public channels, private channels, groups and private messages.

Permissions and your data
Instant Meet only asks for the access it needs to create meetings for you. This is what each permission is used for.
Google Calendar
When you connect your Google account, Instant Meet asks for permission to manage the events it creates in your Google Calendar. It uses this permission to create the meeting event with its Google Meet link each time you run /meet or use the "Create a meet" shortcut, and to record the "Will you attend?" answers of conversation members on that event. It does not read your other events, your email or your contacts.
Slack
Instant Meet reads the members of the channel, group or direct message where you create a meeting, and their email addresses, so it can invite them to the Google Calendar event. If you turn on automatic titles, it also uses the channel name to title the event. It never reads your Slack messages.
Instant Meet does not sell your data, does not use it for advertising and does not use Google user data to train AI models. You can disconnect your Google account from the app's Home tab in Slack at any time. Review the full permissions and trust summary or read our Privacy Policy to learn how your data is stored, protected and deleted.
Frequently asked questions
Instant Meet is an application for Slack that allows you to create video conferencing events instantly through Google Meet and automatically share the url of the meet session in the channel where you have launched the command. In addition, it creates 15-minute events in Google Calendar and sends invitations to all channel members so they can participate in the video conference.

- Authorize Instant Meet and Slack integration

Instant Meet uses the /meet Slack command. If another app that uses the same command is installed later, Slack may assign /meet to the newer app instead. To fix it, you can reinstall Instant Meet or use one of the alternative commands: /meeting or /event.
No. Instant Meet does not collect or have access to your Slack messages. The Slack permissions are used to run slash commands and identify the members of the selected channel, group, or DM so the Google Calendar invitation can be sent correctly.
When you launch a meeting, Instant Meet creates a Google Calendar event and invites the members of the Slack channel, private channel, group, or direct message where the command was used.
Yes. You can include a meeting title when you launch the command, and Instant Meet will use it for the Google Calendar event. If you leave it blank, you can enable automatic titles in Settings so Instant Meet generates one from the channel name instead of using "Instant meeting".
Yes.

It works with the /meet command and automatically creates a matching Google Calendar event.
Click "Add to Slack" on slackmeet.com, authorize Instant Meet for your workspace, and connect your Google account. Once installed, type /meet in any channel, group, or direct message to add Google Meet to Slack and share the link instantly.
/meet is the Google Meet Slack shortcut, also known as the Slack shortcut for Google Meet. Type it in any channel, group, or direct message to instantly create a Google Meet and share the link with everyone there. If another app has already taken over /meet in your workspace, use /meeting or /event instead.
Yes. Turn on Automatic title in App Home > Settings, and any time you run /meet without typing a title, Instant Meet will generate one from the channel name — for example #team-updates becomes "Team updates meeting". It's off by default, a title you type always takes priority, and it doesn't apply to direct messages or group conversations.
