The Google Meet widget puts a Join Meeting button on a dashboard. Think of a door to the weekly call that sits beside the work the call is about. You paste the meeting link into the widget and add a short description.

Here is the test: does the team join the same Google Meet call from this dashboard, again and again? If yes, add this widget. For a Zoom call, use the Zoom widget.

Example: a Vendor Management solution. Security holds a weekly risk review on a recurring Google Meet link. On the Vendor risk overview dashboard, a Google Meet widget titled Weekly risk review carries the link and the agenda. A member selects Join Meeting and the call opens.

The Weekly risk review widget on the Vendor risk overview: the title, the description with the agenda and the Join Meeting button.

The widget lands at the top left of the dashboard as a small block, with its title above the content. Hover over it and drag the pill on its right edge or its bottom edge to resize it; the width snaps to the dashboard's four-column grid. The dashboard saves on its own. There is no Save button.

The settings sit on the right of the window under two headings, Heading and Settings. Each collapses with the chevron at its right. The window's header holds a gear that shows or hides the settings, a three-dot More Options menu (Highlight Color, Duplicate Widget and Collapsed by Default) and an X. Close with the X after a change and the window asks whether you want to exit without saving. Its buttons are Exit Without Saving and Save Changes.

Title is the text shown above the widget on the dashboard. It is prefilled with the widget's name, so change it to what the content is, such as Weekly risk review. Description is a switch, off to start. Turn it on and a text box appears with a small toolbar: bold, italic, underline, text color, highlight, link, bullet list and numbered list. Two tabs set where the description shows. As A Tooltip puts it behind an info icon next to the title. Below The Title shows it under the title, and is selected to start.

The meeting link from Google Meet. The box shows the placeholder https://meet.google.com/your-meeting-id. The helper under it reads "Paste a link to your Google Meet in the text box above." The button opens this link. Nothing is framed: the widget is the button, not the call. Typing something that is not a link showed no message in the product read; the preview simply stays empty.

Optional. A text box with the placeholder Describe your meeting (optional), for the agenda or the goal of the call.

The Google Meet window: Heading, the Google Meet Link box with its placeholder and the Meeting description box on the right, the blue Join Meeting button in the preview.

The widget holds a link. It does not create the meeting. These steps happen in Google, not in SmartSuite.

A recurring meeting keeps the same link, so the widget stays valid week after week. A one-off meeting needs a new link next time.

Solution Managers and members with Full Access add, change and remove widgets on a public dashboard. The owner of a private dashboard does the same on it. Every member who can open the dashboard sees the widget. Whether they can enter the call is decided by Google Meet, not by SmartSuite. A dashboard shared by link shows everything on it to anyone with the link, this widget included. See Dashboard Settings and Public Dashboard Sharing.

In View mode the widget shows its title, the description and the blue Join Meeting button with a camera icon. Select the button and the call opens in a new browser tab. Nothing on the dashboard changes.

The live mobile guide lists the Google Meet widget as supported in the SmartSuite mobile app; see Mobile Dashboard Widgets: Supported Features and Limitations Guide.

In Edit mode, hover over the widget. A strip appears with a drag handle (Drag Widget), Move Up, Move Down, Edit and a three-dot More Options menu. Select Edit to reopen the window, change the link, the description or the title and select Save Changes. Drag the handle to move the widget; a dashed placeholder shows where it will land. Duplicating and deleting are in the More Options menu, and the delete prompt names the widget; see Managing Widgets.
