Google Meet Creator

Programmatically create and manage Google Meet meetings using the Google Meet API with service account authentication and domain-wide delegation.

Prerequisites

• A Google Workspace account with admin access
• Node.js 18+ and pnpm
• A service account with domain-wide delegation enabled

Setup

1. Create a Service Account

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the Google Meet API
4. Create a service account:
   • Go to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts
   • Click Create Service Account
   • Download the JSON key file and save it as service-account.json in the project root

2. Enable Domain-Wide Delegation

1. In the service account details, click Show Advanced Settings
2. Copy the Client ID
3. Go to your Google Workspace Admin Console
4. Navigate to Security → API Controls → Domain-wide Delegation
5. Click Add new and paste the Client ID
6. Add these OAuth scopes:

   https://www.googleapis.com/auth/meetings.space.created
   https://www.googleapis.com/auth/meetings.space.readonly
   

3. Configure the Project

1. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

2. Create a .env file in the project root:

   cp .env.example .env

3. Edit .env and set the IMPERSONATED_USER variable with a real user email from your domain:

   [email protected]
   

   This user must exist in your Google Workspace domain and will be the owner of the created meetings.

Usage

This creates a new Google Meet and stores the meeting ID in .space file.
