Can I join a Google Meet / Hangout call via an API?

distro_dave

If I have a Google Meet link, how can I programatically join the call? I can get the dial-in phone number and use something like Twilio, but then how can I set the caller ID to have a name? I've seen various systems join calls with a specified name for a meet / hangout call. I apologize for the vagueness of the question. I'm not sure how to better ask it - please add comments if you need clarification and I'll happily edit the question.

This is insecure. See http://twil.io/secure public static final String ACCOUNT_SID = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; public static final String AUTH_TOKEN = "your_auth_token"; public static void main(String[] args) { Twilio.init(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN); Call call = Call.creator( new com.twilio.type.PhoneNumber("+14155551212"), new com.twilio.type.PhoneNumber("+15017122661"),...
