Google Meet is my favorite application for attending virtual meetings from an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Although it lacks AirPlay support, I will use the screen mirroring feature to access Google Meet on an Apple TV and Smart TV. This helps me greatly when I want to present to a larger audience. Google Meet is unavailable for Apple TV and Smart TV. So, I recommend using the built-in screen mirroring to access Google Meet on an AirPlay 2-compatible TV.
This article illustrates how to screen mirror Google Meet to an Apple TV and Smart TV.
