Google Workspace Changes

All G Suite customers can now create Hangouts Meet meetings with dial-in phone numbers.

Google has expanded dial-in capabilities for Hangouts Meet, allowing all G Suite users to include a US dial-in phone number in meetings created via Google Calendar. While all G Suite editions now have access to US dial-in, international dial-in numbers remain exclusive to G Suite Enterprise users. Administrators maintain the ability to disable the dial-in feature through the Admin console.

US dial-in feature for Hangouts Meet is now available to all business and education customers.

The US dial-in feature in Hangouts Meet, which allows users to join meetings via phone, is being made available to all business and education customers and will be rolled out in the coming months.

Dial-in phone numbers for Hangouts Meet expanded to six additional countries.

Google has expanded the availability of international Hangouts Meet dial-in phone numbers for G Suite Enterprise domains to six additional markets: Dominican Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, and Luxembourg.

Call US or Canadian phone numbers for free from Hangouts Meet

G Suite users can now add participants to a Hangouts Meet video call by calling US or Canadian phone numbers for free directly from their web browser. While this feature initially required G Suite admins to enable Google Voice in the Admin console, an update on May 15, 2018, removed this requirement, making the feature accessible to all G Suite domains.
