The app’s interface and options will vary depending on the phone or tablet model, carrier, and software version. Google Meet cannot be uninstalled on devices with One UI 4 or later, only disabled.
Make calls with Google Meet
Have a video call planned for later today? Make sure Google Meet is all set up so you can take advantage of its handy features while you catch up with your relative or friend that you haven't seen in a while.
- Navigate to and open the Google folder, and then open the Google Meet app. Allow the permissions when prompted.
- To begin a video call, tap New, and then select your desired contact by tapping Search contacts or dial. You can also tap Create a new meeting, Schedule in Google Calendar, or Create group.
- If your contact does not currently have Google Meet, you may need to send them an invite. Select Compose an invite, and then choose your desired sharing method, such as a text message.
- Once your contact has Google Meet installed, you can begin calling them! Tap Call to begin the video call.
- The general controls are just like most other phone or video chat apps. You can flip the camera, turn off the video, mute your voice, or end the call. Tap More options (the three vertical dots) to the right of the contact's name to select from Mute, Pin, Remove, or Full screen.
- Not only will you get a high-quality video call, you’ll also get a bunch of features and settings you can use! To access these, tap More options (the three vertical dots) at the very bottom of the screen, and then choose from the following:
- In call messages: Send text messages to your participants.
- Share screen: Share your device’s screen.

See more by streaming with Smart View
As amazing as the video quality is in the Duo app, it may be hard to see everything in the recipient's video feed on your phone or tablet. If you'd like to view the video on a bigger screen, you can use Smart View to mirror the video call to a TV!
- Navigate to and open the Meet app, and then join a video call.
- Tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then swipe to and tap Smart View. Follow the on-screen prompts if you are required to allow some permissions.
- Select your desired TV from the list of available devices, and then tap Start now.
Note: You may be required to select Allow on the TV to complete the connection. - Your device’s screen will now stream to the TV, and you’ll see a bigger version of your video call!
Note

Choose your preferred video call method
Note
Even though unlocked phones and tablets will have Google Meet built into the dialer, other video call apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Skype, and Snapchat can still be used.
Even with Google Meet integrated, you still have the option to call friends and family using the built-in Samsung video call interface. When you select the Video call icon from the Contacts app, you will be given the option to use either service. If you’d like to only use Google Meet, there is a simple way to change your preferred video call method.
- Navigate to and open the Contacts app, and then choose your desired contact.
- Tap More (the three vertical dots), and then tap Select video call method.
- You can choose between Google Meet, Video call, or Always ask. Select Google Meet to make it your preferred method.
- Now Google Meet will always open whenever you start a video call with that contact. When you’re finished, tap Done.
- If you'd like Google Meet to be the preferred video call method for other contacts, you will need to repeat these steps for each individual contact.
