    • Not long ago, in response to the Zoom surprise due to the infamous pandemic, Google decided to implement Google Meet inside Gmail.

    That made it free for everyone and capable of managing up to 100 people with no time limits in a meeting.

    That was a nice move but some users either complained about losing the precious estate from the left pane or that they just don’t want to use Google Meet.

    Because of the negative feedback from the users, Google decided to offer a way of hiding the Google Meet buttons from Gmail.
