If I read it right, they still require everybody joining to have a Google account. Which means the others that don't require this will keep growing. I mean, we're a Google shop ok, but requiring our customers to use google accounts is just something that we can not do.

We don't see that and use Meet (via GSuite) to have external calls with people and have never heard that that require a Google account.

Because the paid G Suite behaves different than the free Meet they announce now. Makes sense, because external dial (via phone) costs them money.

I think you are misreading it, and you only need a Google Account to host not to join.

> We do not allow anonymous users (i.e., without a Google Account) to join meetings created by individual accounts.

This quote from the linked post would suggest otherwise.

I think what that means is, if you have a GSuite account, you can let anonymous users join your Meet. But if you just have an individual, personal account, you cannot.

So, if you are a G shop already, then it shouldn't prevent your customers from joining your meeting without having a Google account. But if you're trying to host that meeting via a personal Gmail account, you will run into a problem if a non-Google account tries to join.

Missed that, good point.

Funnily enough, gsuite let’s you share a document to a non google email address. You’d think meet would add that functionality.
