Meet joins directly from Safari on iOS, no app needed

Prior to this update, iOS users without the Gmail or Meet apps were unable to participate in Google Meet sessions on their mobile devices. Now, iOS mobile device users can join meetings directly through Safari, without needing to install an app. The process is now seamless; individuals without a Google account can simply provide their name to request entry into the call.

In this animation, an iPhone user has received a link to join a Meet call. They click on the link and immediately join via their Safari browser.*
