I you prefer to have Google Meet links automatically open in the official Google Meet Chrome app on Mac with its own Dock icon instead of in a browser tab, this is the way to go:
Install the official Google Meet Chrome web app by:
- Navigating to
meet.google.com
- Then either clicking on the install icon (computer screen with downward arrow) in Chrome's address bar or on "⋮" ▸ "Save and share" ▸ "Install page as app"
