How join an existing Google Meet meeting from the home screen, with an URL? This seems to be quite an edge case, as I can find no information on this.
Context
We have a regular &quot;coffee chat&quot; meeting in our group, and we use a Google Meet URL for this meeting, always the same, and we meet at known times a day. No need to have a calendar entry for this.
So, on the desktop computer, I can always easily reuse the URL (e.g. such one: https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hjk) like described here: https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9303069?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&amp;hl=en
Problem
But now I am mostly using my Android Tablet to join, and I wonder how to set up a Home Screen icon/widget/link with that URL.
I can use Google Chrome to paste the URL into, but it will automatically start the Meet app. I have no chance to create a shortcut link first. Also I have not found yet a way to create a link directly from the home screen.
Question
How to create a home screen icon/link/widget that directly opens a given Google Meet URL?
Found the solution.
You turn off internet on your phone, open the meet url in chrome, now the url stays in the adress bar and you can save it to home screen the usual way.
