Google Meet support
Normally RC is just supporting Jitsi & BigBlueButton for Video Conference. By changing the Domain in the settings for Jitsi to "hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_" you can use hangouts at the moment because a new Meeting will be created when opening this URL.
But because Hangouts will be deactivated this year and the new Google Meet don't support auto-creating a meeting URL by opening an URL this will stop working.
So it needs to push a request to generate a meeting. Docs: https://developers.google.com/calendar/create-events
The request Body would look like this: { "summary": "test", "end": { "dateTime": "2019-03-27T13:00:00-07:00" }, "start": { "dateTime": "2019-03-27T11:00:00-07:00" }, "conferenceData": { "createRequest": { "conferenceSolutionKey": { "type": "hangoutsMeet" } } } }
You said that's what the request body would like, is that actually what it looks like, or an example?
Do you have any actual API documentation for generating a hangoutsMeet by a POST call to Google's API, with an apikey, that returns a meeting URL?
Transferred to the feature request repo. This might totally be possible via an app though.

This is my working script for: https://developers.google.com/calendar/create-events
conferenceDataVersion needs to be set to "1". It also returns a Meeting URL :
{ "summary": "Test", "end": { "dateTime": "2019-03-30T13:00:00-07:00" }, "start": { "dateTime": "2019-03-30T11:00:00-07:00" }, "conferenceData": { "createRequest": { "conferenceSolutionKey": { "type": "hangoutsMeet" }, "requestId": "abc-zzz-yyy" } } }
Here is more documentation: https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events/insert#auth
How to generate a Token: https://www.daimto.com/google-authentication-with-curl/
is this functionality working and when how?
I got it working with some hacks in RC 1.2. But for a good functionality it needs to be implemented in RC.
Looks like Zulip has the same problem: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/11440
google meet is important to have in rocket-chat. @jhmk already provided examples how to do it, but google-meets should be available in rocket without hacks i think?
I've tried the hack but no success :(

Now that Google meet has a free tier, it'd be a great feature to add to rocket.chat. The problem is that I couldn't find a way to create a room only by changing the link or something easy like that. I saw that you could call an API that connects to Google calendar to schedule a meeting and then you get a Google meet link. It's kind of tricky.

Google meet has its own api I think: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/reports/v1/appendix/usage/customer/meet
Hi there! That G-suite Api seems its for usage reporting purposes only. At the bottom of this message I´ve post some links that I believe point to the right apis.
The ideia would be something like this:
1 - The admin would create a new calendar on organizarion Google Calendar. I´d be called like "RC meetings" in order to store all meeting events (to create an event and get an "Calendar ID"). 2 - The admin would set this "Calendar ID" and the token or other authentication credential on RC config page in order to allow RC to connect to this specific calendar and create a meeting event (when needed). 3 - When a RC user needs a room, he´d click on a meeting icon and RC would connect on Ooogle calendar api, create an event (setting that exact datetime) and return its google meet link. 4 - The meeting link would be created and now the RC user could access/share it.
What do you think?

Turns out you can now create a new Meet ID by open this URL https://meet.google.com/new (but you need to be Login in your Google account).
😮 😮 😮 😮 😮
cool!
So its easy now to add it to RC.

Would it be possible to use Hubot to create a /meet keyword shortcut to generate and share a Google Meet link on a RC channel?
I'm guessing you would just need to have Hubot authenticate against organization Gsuite via API keys and create a webhook for https://meet.google.com/new 🤔

I would say that to make this simple for non-tech users, having the phone/dial icon would be best. Most regular users won't learn keyword shortcuts. Also you want the meet to be integrated like jitsi. So if you are using the app, that you don't have to leave it.
You can add this url to the Jitsi video settings in RC but need to manipulate the code so that RC don't add a random string after the URL. At the moment it will open the URL like this: https://meet.google.com/new/6GdScYHLebu5YfYDFGENERAL
So a option in RC to disable the String Extension would be nice
I would prefer a solution which allows to use jitsi and google meet.
Then it needs to be added as third solution in RC. Or you try you change Big Blue Button to jitsi
https://g.co/meet/nickname is something that could work either.
Found here: https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/03/hangouts-meet-edu-updates.html
@mcsage That link seems to only work on a logged-in primary domain. So as long as you're only logged into a single GSuite account other people will see the same meeting, but across accounts, or when logged out it wont work.
You still need the "real" meeting link for other people to join.
Maybe someone can expand upon this, but this works for my own purposes. Still not ideal. Basically just a button for @jhmk 's comment with https://meet.google.com/new
Go to the Administration panel > Layout > Custom Scripts > add the following code to the Custom Script for Logged In Users area. Refresh the chat page and there should be a little button on the top-left nav area.
It'd be cool if it could grab the meeting room URL after it's created, and automatically post it in your current Rocket Chat room, but this is beyond me at the moment.
