Google Meet is a widely-used video conferencing tool enabling remote connections among users. Although it is commonly linked with utilizing a phone number, it’s possible to configure and utilize Google Meet without needing one.
Create a Gmail Account
The first step in setting up Google Meet without a phone number is to create a Gmail account. If you already have a Gmail account, you can skip this step. To create a new account, go to accounts.google.com/signup and follow the prompts to set up your account.
Sign In to Google Meet
Once you have a Gmail account, you can sign in to Google Meet by going to meet.google.com. You will be prompted to enter your email address and password. If you are signing in for the first time, you may need to verify your identity through a text message or phone call.
Create a Meeting
After signing in to Google Meet, you can create a meeting by clicking on the “New Meeting” button. You will be prompted to enter a meeting name and choose whether you want to require a meeting code or not. Once you have entered this information, click “Create Meeting” to start your video conference.
Invite Participants
To invite participants to your Google Meet, you can either share the meeting link with them directly or send out an email invitation. To do this, click on the “Copy Link” button in the top right corner of the screen and paste it into an email or messaging app. Alternatively, click on the “Make It Public” button to allow anyone with the link to join your meeting.
Join a Meeting
If you have been invited to a Google Meet, you can join the meeting by clicking on the meeting link. You will be prompted to enter your name and email address before joining the video conference. If you are not signed in to a Gmail account, you may need to sign in with your email address and password.
Conclusion
Setting up Google Meet without a phone number is a simple process that can be done by creating a Gmail account and signing in to the platform. By following these steps, you can create and join video conferences with ease.
