You can integrate Google Meet with Acuity to automatically create virtual meetings for Acuity appointments.
The meeting link will only be populated in the client's email if the email template includes the %location% tag.
Clients do not need to have a Gmail email address to join the meeting from a computer, but clients do need a Gmail email address to join the meeting from a mobile device.
