Google Meet and Microsoft Teams now allow seamless cross-platform video calls
Google and Microsoft have announced a new feature enabling cross-platform video calls between Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. The update allows users to join meetings across both services without switching apps. Administrators can opt to disable this function if needed.
This feature builds on earlier interoperability efforts by Zoom and Cisco Webex, which already supported connections between Meet and Teams. Now, ChromeOS-based Google Meet devices can directly join Microsoft Teams Rooms running on Windows.
To use this feature, Microsoft requires an active resource account with a Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro license. The system must also run Teams Rooms on Windows version 5.2 or higher. Hardware requirements vary: up to four single-stream cameras can be connected with an Intel 12th-generation processor or newer, while two or three cameras need at least a 9th-generation Intel CPU.
Some limitations apply. Multi-stream cameras are not supported, and certain features—like in-meeting chat, adjusting participant layouts, and using multiple screens—will not work in cross-platform meetings. Google plans to roll out this update on February 16, 2026, with full availability expected by early March.
The new feature removes the need to switch between apps for cross-platform meetings. However, hardware and licensing requirements must be met for full functionality. Companies using both Google Meet and Microsoft Teams will now have a more streamlined way to connect.
