Turn Meet legacy calling on or off for your users without impacting additional services

As an IT admin for your organization, you can turn off Google Meet legacy calling for your users. You might want to do that because Meet legacy calling (what used to be called "Duo calling") isn't compliant with Google core services requirements. Turning off Meet legacy calling doesn't turn off the Meet service in general, so your users can still create and join non-legacy Meet meetings and calls unless you turn those off separately.    

To use legacy services, both the additional Google services without individual control setting and the legacy services setting need to be switched on.
