Connect Google Meet Link with Personal Reserved Domain
1 min readJan 26, 2021
One of the cool things I tried and implemented was to connect the Google Meet Link with my custom reserved domain name and made it look like my own custom meeting link.
Prerequisites:
- A Google Meeting link
- Personal/Reserved Domain
- Cloud Hosting/Server
Steps:
- Generate a meeting link from Google Meet.
- Get a domain from any Domain Name Providers. For .np domain, you can register it freely from Mercantile Communication.
- Get the cheapest cloud hosting plan.
- Point the domain name to the IP of your cloud server in the name server.
- Simply create a server block in your web server. In my case, I have used Nginx. The only thing you have to do is to redirect the request to your previously created Google Meet link.
Sample of server block:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80; server_name <reserved_domain_name>; return 301 <google_meet_link>;
}
In my case, my custom Google Meet link is meet.ashishakya.com.np. It is easy to remember and I have been using it for my official meetings and work schedules.
