Earlier today, we announced the public launch of
Hangouts Meet and the Early Adopter Program for
Hangouts Chat, the new enterprise-focused video meetings and online messaging experiences coming to Google Hangouts. Learn more about the new Hangouts in our blog post here:
Meet the new Hangouts.
Getting started with Meet
If you are a G Suite administrator, the ability to
enable specific organizational units for Meet or even your entire domain is gradually rolling out starting today.
Because Meet is launching default off for existing Hangouts users, you have the flexibility and control to plan and coordinate the rollout of Meet with your team and users.
