In Gmail’s web and mobile apps how to disable Google Meet integration
Gmail got a slight redesign as of late when Google chose to pack its “Meet” application’s featureset legitimately into the Gmail experience. While that additional usefulness may be useful to a few, others have positively no utilization for Meet and don’t need it cluttering up our interface.
It’s basically excessively simple to inadvertently stack up Meet when you’re attempting to send an email. Regardless of whether your fingers are especially dextrous and you never commit that error, Meet is as yet occupying screen room that it truly should not be involving for some – if not the greater part – of Gmail’s clients.
Before the Meet tab existed, the base part of the Gmail interface (on mobile) was empty, which means you could show more messages. Actually, they’ll take seeing a greater amount of my inbox over the capacity to take a gander at an extravagant catch for an element they’ll never utilize quickly.
Fortunately, if Gmail’s Meet joining pesters you, as well, there’s a simple method to be freed of it completely and return Gmail to the manner in which it used to be.
On mobile, the process is as per the following:
- Tap the hamburger menu symbol situated at the upper left corner of your Gmail application interface.
- Look down to the lower part of the pop-up menu and select “Settings.”
- Pick the Gmail account that you’d prefer to disable Meet for.
- Look down to the “Meet” segment and uncheck the box with the name “Show the Meet tab for video calling.”
- All done!
On desktop, Meet is considerably less annoying- it just possesses a couple of inches of room in the left board beneath your inbox, drafts, and trash menus. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you actually need to be freed of it for good, simply do the accompanying:
- Click the cog-shaped Settings symbol toward the upper right of Gmail’s program form (it’s the third symbol from the right, beginning with your profile picture).
- In the new “Quick settings” menu, click on “See all settings” at the top.
- In the Settings interface, search for the “Chat and Meet” tab – it’s the fourth tab from the right, beginning with “Themes.”
- Just select the choice for “Hide the Meet section in the main menu,” and you’re all set.
While you’re there, we additionally suggest killing Hangouts (the “Chat” bit of this interface). It’s closing down soon, at any rate, and there are far superior choices out there for casual voice, text, and video communications, (for example, Discord or Skype).
Until further notice, we’re simply happy that Gmail’s Meet integration is optional; in any event toward the front. In any case, knowing Google, we wouldn’t be astounded if the tech giant discovers some approach to force Meet (or some other unwanted application) into Gmail again down the line, so remain careful.
