Dial into a Hangouts Meet video call with an international phone number

Since its launch earlier this year, one of the core principles of Hangouts Meet has been to facilitate meetings that are as fast and seamless to join as possible. Whether it’s in a conference room, on desktop, or on mobile—Hangouts Meet is one great user experience focused on making meetings easy and productive.

Sometimes when users are on the go, like on a business trip or out in the field, there’s no data connection to join a video meeting. That’s why we provide our G Suite Enterprise customers with a dedicated dial-in phone number for every Meet, allowing for a rich audio-only experience and enabling them to participate.

Over the next few days, we’ll roll out dial-in phone numbers to additional markets, so your team can stay connected, wherever they are. Easy to find, this localized phone number will appear both on the calendar listing and in the Meet app. On mobile, the number will even update based on your location (and if you’re in a market not yet supported, it will change to the next best alternative).
Our markets include the following countries (with more to come!):

  • Australia (AU)
  • Brazil (BR)
  • Canada (CA)
  • Denmark (DK)
  • France (FR)
  • Germany (DE)
  • Italy (IT)
  • Netherlands (NL)
  • New Zealand (NZ)
  • Poland (PL)
  • Spain (ES)
  • Sweden (SE)
  • United Kingdom (GB)
  • United States (US)

Please note that localized phone numbers will only appear in newly created meetings.
