Google Meet Links Not Opening on Intune-Managed Devices
We recently encountered an issue where Google Meet links could not be opened on devices managed via Microsoft Intune. This behavior was consistent across multiple users and devices, and it raised questions about whether this was a configuration issue, a policy conflict, or something else entirely.
Symptoms
- Clicking a Google Meet link (e.g., https://meet.google.com/xyz-abc-def) results in no action. Tried to open it from Outlook, Gmail or Google-Calendar
- When Opening with the Browser, we get a Redirection to Google-Play-Store, but the Google-Meet App ist already installed.
- Behavior is consistent across Outlook, Teams, and other apps that handle links.
We tried different Default Browers (Edge and Chrome) and Outlook, Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Meets are configured as managed Apps
Is this a known Issue or can this be fixed with Intune Configurations?
Looking forward to your feedback.

Update: Microsoft was not able to help. I opened a Ticket, which i think was wrongly directed to the Outlook-Team instead of Intune or Endpoint-Team. After some time and several internal escalations, they told me to open a Request directly in the Outlook App and they will escalate it. I was sent to a Support-Chat with a waiting Time of over 2:30 hours, after one hour of waiting - you guessed it - the waiting Time is 2:33.
So we stick with copying URL manually and paste it to a browser. End-Users are not going to like it.
Hi, this usually happens when Intune policies affect how links are handled between managed apps. The device may not be recognizing Google Meet as the correct app, which is why it redirects to the store. Check the app configuration and default browser settings in Intune to make sure Meet links are allowed, and try reinstalling the app on a test device to confirm. If the issue continues, it may need a support case with Microsoft.
Hi,
i checked the App-Configurations and tried several settings. Also i tried switching default browser and reinstall the Apps, but it's still not workin. I think i'll open a microsoft case.
Hi fbatuns ,
Check App Protection Policy (MAM)
In Microsoft Intune Admin Center → Apps → App protection policies
Edit the relevant MAM policy:
Data Transfer Section → Ensure Google Meet is added as an approved app.
If not listed, add com.google.android.apps.meetings (Android package ID).
App Configuration Policy (Optional)
If you’re managing Gmail/Outlook/Calendar as managed apps, make sure:
"Open supported links in associated app" is enabled.
No restrictions are blocking deep links to Meet.
Browser RestrictionsIf policy forces links to open in Edge only, Meet links won’t deep-link correctly.
Option A: Allow Chrome as a managed browser (for Google apps).
Option B: Whitelist meet.google.com in the policy so it can open directly in Meet app.
Hey Zohaib_Yousuf ,
thanks for your Input.
I now have a MAM-Policy for Microsoft-Apps and Google-Meets in Place and i set "Send org data to other apps" to "Policy managed apps" there is no menu for selecting "Approved Apps" as far as i can see.I also made an App-Configuration-Policy for both (Microsoft-Apps and Google-Meet) but also do not find a menu like "Opne supported links in associated app"
We have no Polcy for Edge enforcment in Place.
Still facing the same issue.
