How to Remove the Google Meet Widget from Gmail
Google recently added a widget to Gmail that lets users easily access a Google video chat (a.k.a. a Google Meet). Unfortunately, this can hide your labels and your Keeping Toolbar, especially if you are on a "short" screen. Here's how to remove the Google Meet widget from Gmail.
Update May 29, 2020: Google is rolling out the new settings to hide the Google Meet widget slowly across the globe. If you don't see the option yet, just check back in a day or so.

2. Navigate to the last item in the settings, labeled "Chat and Meet"
3. For the "Meet" option, choose "Hide the Meet section in the main menu"
