How to Disable Automatic Video Calls in Google Calendar In this case, you’ll want to disable Google Hangouts in your calendar. I’ve also heard some people select this option and now the Google Hangouts links appears in all of their calendar events - even if it’s another calendar besides Google Calendar. Easy, right?īut, what if you don’t want to have video calls? After all, there are times when it’s easier to have a quick 10-minute phone call then hosting a video call - especially when it’s with just one team member or a prospective client. When participants go to join the meeting, they click Join Meeting directly from their Google Calendar. Just so you know, you can invite up to 25 people at once. Just create a Google Calendar event, add guests, save, and then send them the meeting link. Let’s say that you want to have a weekly video chat with your team.

Whenever you create a new Google Calendar event, a Hangouts video chat link is automatically included. Since its initial release, Hangouts has continued to evolve from an experimental Google+ feature to a reliable chat app that’s built into Gmail and Google Calendar. It replaced Google Talk, Google+ Messenger, and Hangouts, which was originally the video chat system within Google+. Initially released in 2013, Google Hangouts is the default and easy-to-use communication platform that includes messaging, video chat, SMS, and VOIP features.
