Fix 1: Check Google Meet Participant Limitations
Here are a few reasons you may see the “You aren’t allowed to join this meeting” error on Google Meet.
Limit on the Number of Participants
You can’t join a Google Meet room if it has reached its participant limit. Google Meet restricts the number of people who can join a meeting.
Administrative Restrictions
You may also see the error message if the admin or host has placed restrictions on who can join the meeting. There might be a restriction preventing people outside the organization from joining the meeting.
Furthermore, if you try to join from your professional account, a restriction might prevent you from joining a meeting not hosted by your organization. In such cases, ensure you use a personal account.
For problems like these, we recommend contacting the administrator of your organization or your professional account.
