Let’s discuss how to Fix Google Meet Links Not Opening on Intune Managed Devices Issue. The issue was that Google Meet links were not opening on devices managed with Microsoft Intune. This problem happened to many users and devices, so it was not a one-time error.

On Intune-managed devices, when a user clicks a Google Meet link, the meeting does not open as expected. This happens in different apps like Outlook, Gmail, or Google Calendar, where clicking the link results in no response. Normally, the link should open either the Google Meet app or a browser window to join the meeting, but in this case, it fails to launch the meeting at all.

Google Meet is an online video conferencing service developed by Google. It allow you to join virtual meetings, make video calls, share their screen, and collaborate in real time. You can use it from a web browser, a mobile app, or even directly from Gmail and Google Calendar.

In this post, you will find all the details about the issue where Google Meet links do not open on Intune-managed devices. It explains the symptoms, possible causes, and the steps you can take to fix the problem.

Let’s discuss the workaround for the issue where Google Meet links do not open on Intune-managed devices. By reviewing and adjusting Intune policies such as App Protection (MAM), App Configuration settings, and browser restrictions, you can ensure that links from apps like Outlook, Gmail, and Google Calendar launch the Google Meet app correctly. Explain this in detail below.

Verify and Update App Protection Policy for Google Meet

You should ensure that Google Meet links open correctly on Intune-managed devices and also check the App Protection Policy (MAM) in the Microsoft Intune Admin Center. Navigate to Apps > App protection policies and edit the policy that applies to your users or devices.

In the Data Transfer section, confirm that Google Meet is listed as an approved app. If it is not, add it using its Android package ID: com.google.android.apps.meetings. This allows data to be shared with Google Meet and ensures that links can launch the app properly.

The apps such as Gmail, Outlook, or Google Calendar are managed through Intune. Reviewing the App Configuration Policy can help ensure Google Meet links open correctly. Proper configuration allows links from these apps to launch the Google Meet app directly instead of failing or redirecting incorrectly.

  • You must ensure that the setting “Open supported links in associated app” is enabled.
  • You must check that no restrictions are blocking deep links to the Google Meet app.
  • You should confirm that links from email or calendar apps open properly in Google Meet.

Check and Adjust Browser Restrictions

If your Intune policy forces all links to open only in Microsoft Edge, Google Meet links may not launch correctly in the Meet app. Adjusting browser settings can help ensure that links open properly. You should allow the following.

  • Allow Google Chrome as a managed browser for users, especially for Google apps.
  • Whitelist meet.google.com in the browser policy so that links can open directly in the Google Meet app, bypassing browser restrictions.
