Google Meet is a worthy competitor to other video conferencing services like Skype and Zoom but it lags in one area, a dedicated app. Many people want an actual app for the services they use on a regular basis instead of visiting a website for everything they need it. Services like Skype and Zoom offer dedicated apps for all the major platforms but there is nothing for Google Meet. Recently, it does get integrated into Gmail on mobile devices but nothing for desktop.
But now there is a dedicated desktop client for Google Meet. This is a third-party client offered by Meet Enhancement Suite. Meet Enhancement Suite started with a browser extension to add additional features to Google Meet. Here is what this Google Meet desktop client has to offer.
