Google Meet Simplifies One-on-One Video Calling with Link-Free Option
Earlier, when you had to do a video call on Google Meet, the only way to connect with the other person was to send them a meeting link, which added a barrier to direct communication.

With the latest update, the company has removed the need to send the invite link via calendar invite, cat, or email to make 1-on-1 calls. Now you can directly place a call on the app, similarly to personal users.
Additionally, to bring more convenience to making 1-on-1 calls, Google has introduced some new features of the app that are accessible at the same time when the call is connected. The feature includes in-meet chat, virtual backgrounds, visual effects, live closed captions, and many more.
When the update is installed, the new feature will be automatically activated, but according to usage, you can turn it off from the settings. To make it more advanced, the Big G has also promised to add admin controls to restrict inbound calls next year.
