Google Meet, Microsoft Teams Unite

Google Meet and Microsoft Teams have improved their interoperability, allowing them to work together across supported Android-based meeting-room hardware. This feature, which began rolling out on October 1, 2026, enables Google Meet hardware to join Microsoft Teams calls, while Android-based Microsoft Teams Rooms can join Google Meet meetings.

The interoperability feature is available to Google Workspace customers using Google Meet hardware that runs on Android/AOSP. It is expected to reach eligible customers within 1-3 days of the rollout. This development is a significant step forward in removing barriers between the two platforms, making it easier for users to join video calls regardless of the service being used.

Google had previewed this feature last month, giving an early look at how it would work. The company has now announced that the feature is generally available, allowing supported meeting-room hardware to take advantage of it. This means that if a company primarily uses Google Meet but receives a Microsoft Teams invite from a client, they can join the call without needing to switch rooms or use a laptop.

## Why it matters The improved interoperability between Google Meet and Microsoft Teams is a welcome development for users who have struggled with the complexity of joining video calls across different platforms. This feature is particularly useful in meeting rooms where hardware is often dedicated to a specific service. By allowing Google Meet and Microsoft Teams to work together, users can now focus on the meeting itself, rather than worrying about the technical aspects of joining a call.

The feature is limited to Google Meet hardware and Microsoft Teams Rooms that run on Android/AOSP, and does not apply to the Google Meet or Microsoft Teams apps on phones or tablets. Nevertheless, this development is a significant step forward in improving the overall video conferencing experience, and is likely to be welcomed by users of both platforms.
