Official Google Meet integration for Slack.

Hello, 

We're looking to have our users move to Google Meet from Zoom and we see there's no official Slack integration for Google Meet, unlike Zoom.  So users cant auto-launch a Google Meet from Slack with ease and have their Slack status updated to reflect they're in a meeting.

The options out there are non-official 3rd party offerings that have a cost or risk.

Google provides such integrations for Drive and Calendar, why not Meet?

There is one, it's older so it refers to google meet as hangouts.

I see, and using that integration will create meetings just as well?  All that's different is the name I assume, but the command /hangout in slack will create a Google Meet anyhow?

it creates an instant meeting and puts a link to it in the channel where you ran the command

Ok, thanks for the feedback.  I contacted Slack support and they are the ones who developed the Hangout integration.  They didn't promise an update to Meet any time soon though.  Cheers.
