How To Leave A Google Meet Call Without Ending It
To leave a Meet call without ending it for everyone else, follow these steps:
1. Join the Google Meet: Ensure you are logged into the meeting.
2. Locate the "Leave Call" Button: At the bottom right corner of the screen, you will see a red button with a phone icon.

What happens if the host leaves Google Meet
Google has introduced some security enhancements in Meet. Now, when the host (identified as the meeting organizer in when you open Google Calendar for the meeting details) exits the meeting, they are presented with two options:
Just leave the call: The host exits the meeting, but the session continues for the remaining participants.
Tech Tip: Choose this option if you want participants to carry on after you leave or if it's a recurring meeting where participants need to start the next session without the host.
End the call: All participants, including those in breakout rooms, will be removed from the meeting.
Conclusion
By mastering the art of ending Google Meet for everyone as the host, you can ensure a smooth and efficient conclusion to your online meetings and any future or previous participants.
However, the importance of capturing key discussions often extends beyond the call itself.
This is where Bluedot goes beyond just being a recording tool. It empowers you to privately record your Google Meet, even capturing when you present your screen, without needing permission from participants – all before ending the call for everyone.
But Bluedot offers so much more than recording. It also provides intelligent transcription, automatically generated meeting summaries, as well as auto generated email templates for easy follow-up, and the ability to create custom meeting templates to streamline your workflow.
Bluedot securely stores your Google Meet recordings for later access, ensuring you never miss a beat even when you end meetings.
