You might want to get that Google Meeting link so you can share it with your co-workers or peers, but there's no way to get a Google Meeting link while the meeting is going on. However, you will have an option to get a link when you create a new meeting. This wikiHow will show you how to get a link to a Google meeting using Google Meet, Gmail, and Google Calendar.

Open Google Meet on your phone or tablet. This app icon looks like a yellow, red, blue, and green outlined video camera. You can find this app on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
- If you don't have the Meets mobile app, you can download it for free from the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS).
2
Tap New meeting. It's a tab-like button that you'll find at the top of your screen.
