Google Meet has now received a ‘meet.new’ shortcut that will allow users to immediately start a call.

Meet.new is similar to tapping the “Start a meeting” button on the meet.google.com homepage or from the Gmail sidebar.

It takes users to the “Meeting ready” screen that provides a URL to copy and share. At the left is a video and audio preview, while you can proceed by clicking “Join now” or “Present.”Meet.new also supports appending a /1 or /2 to start a call from a different Google Account.

Google has been using these shortcuts for its other products such as forms.new, docs.new, sheets.new, etc to quickly create new forms, documents, and more.
