Google has introduced Meet Global Dialing, a new add-on subscription that enables paid dial-in and dial-out calls in video meetings. While there is no subscription fee, users will be charged a per-minute rate for phone calls.

"This new add-on subscription will help improve access to video calls by enabling outbound calls to global destinations and dial-in to meetings from more countries," Google wrote in a blog post on Monday.

With the new add-on subscription:

• Google Meet users can dial out to more than 100 countries directly from a Meet call (currently only available to 2 countries)
• Easily dial in to join a Meet call when you don't have an internet connection, have limited bandwidth, or are joining from the road, in more than 80 countries, with more countries coming soon
• Admins can easily monitor and audit call usage in a single place with the Google Voice audit log.
