Google has launched a new standalone web app for Google Meet. The web app also known as Progressive Web Application has all the features of the Google Meet app, but this is strictly for web. You will no longer have to type out the URL or go to Gmail to start a meeting on Google Meet, you can simply download the app on your laptop, computer or MacBook and use it. The announcement by Google comes weeks after Zoom announced its own PWA. If you are wondering how different the Google Meet web app would be from Google Meet, Google has clarified that there is no change in terms of functionality. The PWA’s are in fact websites that have the functions of an app. So if you download the Google Meet app on your laptop or computer, you will no longer to have to find it through the browser to start a meeting. It will be available in your downloaded apps section. You can simply open the app and start a meeting as we do it on smartphones when we have the apps installed on our device.
