How long is a Google Meet link valid?

Each Google Meet meeting has a unique meet link. Google announces that beginning May 19, 2021 this meeting code will expire if not used for 365 days, or if everyone leaves the meeting. The expiration time is based on the product that your meeting is created from. We recommend that you check the expiration times of meeting codes to ensure that the meeting codes are valid at the time you want to use them.

Google Meet meetings can be scheduled across all Google Workspace products, including Calendar, Gmail, Google Chat and more. This means that your unique meeting code and its expiration date are based on the product from which your meeting was created. See below for a full list of meeting code expiration dates according to the product they were created with.

These Google Meet settings apply to all corporate Google Workspace users and users with personal Google accounts.
