Google Meet adds routine follow-ups to its post-meeting screen
By Automate Basics, written with AI from Google's original
Google Meet now offers routine next steps after a meeting, including drafting a follow-up email and adding action items to Google Tasks. Google says eligible Workspace users can use them when Take notes for me was enabled during the meeting.
What changed in Google Meet
Google says Meet now shows routine next steps on the post-meeting screen when Take notes for me was enabled during the call. The initial choices are drafting a follow-up email in Gmail and adding action items to Google Tasks. Gemini and Workspace Studio power the feature, which is intended to carry meeting discussions into follow-up work without manually re-entering the details.
The options appear after both one-off and recurring meetings. Google says users can also enable a particular next step across their meetings, provided Take notes for me is turned on. The company says more types of next step are planned, but has not identified them in this announcement.
Who can use Google Meet next steps?
Google lists Meet next steps for Business Standard and Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Plus, and the Google AI Pro for Education add-on. The announcement does not give a separate price for the feature or say whether it will come to other plans.
Google says the feature is on by default, but administrators can disable it for a domain, organizational unit or group through Workspace Studio admin settings or the Take notes for me setting. For users, the key requirement is that Take notes for me was enabled during the meeting. Google says rollout began on October 5, 2026, for Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains and may take longer than 15 days to become visible.
How do I try Meet next steps at work?
A meeting with a clear follow-up email or assigned action items is a useful first test of Meet next steps. Enable Take notes for me during the meeting, then check the Routines for this meeting section on the post-meeting screen. Google says that is where users can enable a next step with a tap. If meeting notes were not enabled, no next steps will appear.
Before using the resulting email draft or Tasks entries, check names, responsibilities and deadlines against what participants agreed. Google also says users can manage routines in the Workspace Studio Flows library after turning them on in Meet for the first time. If meeting notes are new to your team, our Google Meet notes guide covers that prerequisite.
