You can also join the Meet in a browser, then under the option memu (...) is “Use a phone for audio”. In that user flow the meeting calls your phone and when you join your devices are linked such that the command-d hot key in the browser will mute/unmute your phone mic.

I've only used Meet once, actually last week, and it took me significantly longer to get on the call because I couldn't start dialing until after clicking "use a phone for audio" whereas with Zoom I call before even joining the call on my computer

Maybe it was user error, but it felt much slower to get everything up and running
