GCALL creates instant Google Meet meetings via the terminal to avoid the need for clicking multiple buttons in the Google UI.
The meeting is created with the default settings of 'Instant Meeting' and 60 minutes duration. The meeting name and duration can be customized via the command line arguments.
The output of the command is the meeting URL link that can be shared with others.
If pbcopy
is available on the system, the meeting URL is copied to the clipboard.
To use this tool, you need to have a Google account and have enabled the Google Calendar API for your account.
Follow the steps in the Google Calendar API Quickstart to enable the Google Calendar API for your account.
After enabling the Google Calendar API, download the credentials.json
file and save it in the user home directory.
