Users after tapping any URL in an email or third-party app will be directed to a new preview screen which shows basic details like who is in the call and length of it. They will also get to decide if they want to use video or audio or to share their screen.With the introduction of Meet in Gmail, it will not be required to install the Meet app on the phone.
