Google is making a big change to how meeting messages work in Google Meet. Starting November 10, 2025, all in-meeting messages in Google Meet will now be powered by and accessible through Google Chat.

This update brings a more unified communication experience across Google Workspace — allowing meeting participants to access chats, shared files, and links even after a meeting ends, directly inside Google Chat.

What’s Changing

Previously, messages sent during Google Meet calls disappeared once the meeting ended. With this update, all Meet messages will automatically sync to a shared Google Chat conversation, making post-meeting collaboration smoother than ever.

Key updates include:

• Unified Messaging: All Meet in-meeting messages will now live inside Google Chat.

• Rich Interaction: Participants can react with emojis, share images, and attach files directly during the call.

• Persistent Access: All shared messages, links, and files remain accessible to meeting attendees after the meeting ends.

• Pre-Meeting Collaboration: Meeting hosts and attendees can share pre-reads, resources, or documents in Chat before the call — and they’ll appear in Meet during the meeting.

Why It Matters

This integration bridges Meet and Chat, giving teams a consistent communication thread before, during, and after a meeting. Google says the update will improve post-meeting follow-up and team productivity, helping users easily find messages and files in one place.

Rollout Timeline

• Rapid Release domains: Rollout begins November 10, 2025, with visibility taking up to 30 days.

• Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout starts December 3, 2025, with up to 15 days for full availability.

Admin and User Details

For Admins:

• If the host disables continuous meeting chat, Meet will revert to the standard in-call messaging system.

For End Users:

• Hosts can toggle chat linking on or off from the video call options before the meeting begins.

• External attendees can access the chat only during the live meeting and will not see the chat before or after the call.

• Enterprise Essentials, Starter, Standard, Plus

Bottom Line
