What and Why

We’re introducing a new in-context meeting join experience to help users seamlessly access meetings they’ve RSVP’d to as “Yes” or “Tentative.” When a meeting is live, a banner will appear, allowing users to join directly. If multiple meetings are active, the banner will display the count and offer a “View More” call-to-action, enabling users to choose which meeting to join. This enhancement supports quicker access to meetings and improves user productivity.

Rollout Schedule

• General Availability: Mid-July 2025 – Late July 2025
