Set Webex Meetings as the Default for Video Conferencing in Google Calendar

In the coming months, Google Calendar’s default option for scheduling video meetings will no longer be Webex Meetings, starting November 16, 2020. By turning off Google Meet as the default provider, administrators are able to allow users to choose the video conferencing provider they wish to use each time, without having to set Webex Meetings as the default.

Turn off Google Meet as the default for Video Conferencing

Those in your organization who use Webex Meetings most often can disable the default setting for Meet in your organization if some need to use it occasionally. Afterwards, each user will be able to choose the video conferencing provider they prefer to use.

1. Using your Google admin console, sign in to your account.
2. Go to the Apps > G Suite > Calendar section from the admin console home page.
3. In the Sharing settings, click the Video conferencing option.
4. If Google is not already the default video conferencing provider, uncheck the box.
5. You will be prompted to click Save.
