Step-by-step guide
How to start a Google Meet in Slack
If you want to create a Google Meet link in Slack without jumping into Google Calendar first, Meet for Slack turns the whole flow into one slash command. This page walks through the setup and the first use.
Instructions
From install to first meeting in five short steps
Step 1
Add Meet for Slack to your workspace
Install Meet for Slack from the app page so the /meet slash command becomes available in your Slack workspace.
Step 2
Run /meet in Slack
Open any Slack channel or direct message, then type /meet to start the flow.
Step 3
Connect your Google account once
The first time you use the command, Meet for Slack asks you to connect the Google account that should create Google Meet links.
Step 4
Post the Google Meet link instantly
After the account is connected, Meet for Slack creates a fresh Google Meet link and posts it back into Slack for the rest of the conversation.
Step 5
Reconnect only if access changes
If you revoke Google access or switch Google accounts later, simply run /meet again and reconnect the right account.
What to expect
What the command does after setup
Inside Slack
You type /meet in a channel or DM. Meet for Slack creates a fresh Google Meet link and posts the join action back into Slack for the people already in that conversation.
Inside Google
The app uses your authorized Google account to generate the meeting room. If you later switch or revoke that account, you can reconnect the correct one and keep using the same Slack command.
Need troubleshooting after setup?
If Slack keeps asking you to reconnect Google, or if the link is not posting as expected, go to the support page for account switching, reinstall guidance, and common fixes.
FAQ
Common questions about the setup
Can I create a Google Meet link directly inside Slack?
Yes. Install Meet for Slack, type /meet in any Slack channel or DM, and the app posts a fresh Google Meet link created from your own Google account.
Why does Slack keep asking me to connect Google again?
That usually means your Google token expired or was revoked. Reconnect your Google account and try /meet again. If the prompt keeps returning, revoke access in Google Account Permissions and reconnect from scratch.
Can I switch to a different Google account?
Yes. Revoke Meet for Slack in Google Account Permissions, then use /meet again and connect the Google account you want to use going forward.
