Cannot create Google Hangout Event link with eventNamedHangout for GSuite account

Question

I am trying to create a Google Hangout link and insert it into a calendar event for a GSuite account.

From the Google API documentation, I need to use eventNamedHangout as the type of conferenceType but the API responded back with a Google Meet link instead.

How can I create a Hangout link for the G-Suite account?

Answer 1

Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat were rebranded to Google Meet and Google Chat in April 2020. Google Meet is enterprise-grade video meetings for everyone. Google Chat is a messaging platform for teams.

Therefore, when you are creating an event with a link for a video meet, the Google Meet link will be the one attached to the event.
