FAQs

I received a Google Meet link, but it says the meeting is not found. What should I do?
Double-check the link for any typos. Make sure the link is current – meetings often have start and end times. If the meeting is in the future, you'll need to wait until it starts. If the issue persists, contact the meeting organizer.
