Google adds Meet Quick access to Calendar

Google has added Meet Quick access to Calendar. This means, meeting organisers in G Suite for Education and Enterprise for Education domains can now turn Quick access on or off for a meeting from the event in Google Calendar. The Quick access setting helps organisers control if participants must ask to join the video meeting. By adding controls to calendar events, organisers can configure the setting appropriately in advance of the meeting. Previously, the setting could only be controlled via the Host controls menu during the meeting. 

The Quick access setting is now “sticky” for recurring meetings. That means that if you change the setting, either before the meeting via Google Calendar or during the meeting via in-call settings, it will be saved for any future meetings that use the same meeting code. 

Quick access is turned ON by default for all meetings. It can be turned off or on for each meeting, and any changes will be saved for future meetings that use the same meeting code. It is available to G Suite for Education and Enterprise for Education customers only.
