Redirecting Google Meet Links to a Specific User

Jueming

When you’re logged into multiple accounts in Google Chrome, you often need to choose a user account when accessing Google Meet links to join a meeting normally. For example, employees working remotely at Eyes, JAPAN need to join meetings via Google Meet, and having to select an account each time can be cumbersome.

Is there a way to force a Google Meet link to use a specific account?

Yes, there is!

In Google services, we can use /a/{domain} to select a user with the corresponding domain, but this doesn’t work for Google Meet meeting links. Instead, we need to specify the username.

The specific method is:

https://meet.google.com/{meet_code}?authuser={your_email}

For example:

https://meet.google.com/[email protected]

Is there a better way to implement this if you don’t want to save it as a bookmark and hope for automatic redirection?

You can use a Userscript to achieve this. Here’s an example:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Google Meet Redirect
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.0
// @description  Redirect to specific Google Meet URL with authuser parameter
// @author       Jueming
// @match        https://meet.google.com/{meet_code}
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    // Check if the URL does not have any URI
    if (window.location.href === 'https://meet.google.com/{meet_code}') {
        // Redirect to the URL with the authuser parameter
        window.location.replace('https://meet.google.com/{meet_code}?authuser={your_email}');
    }
})();

This script will automatically redirect you to the specified account when accessing a Google Meet link.
