Google Meet launched as part of Google's video conferencing tools and became widely used for school and work during the shift to remote meetings in 2020. Its Ask to Join prompt, where the host admits a guest, turned the alert into a shared reference point for online life. Clips of the chime spread on social media alongside other platform alerts like the Discord notification and the Discord call sound, and editors kept reusing it as shorthand for waiting, rejection or an awkward late entrance into a group conversation.

The Ask to Join notification chime heard in Google Meet video calls, commonly used in memes and edits to show someone waiting to be admitted to a meeting.
This is the short notification sound that plays in Google Meet when a participant requests to join a call and waits for the host to admit them. It is a clean, soft digital chime with a brief rising tone, instantly recognisable to anyone who has attended online classes, remote work meetings or virtual interviews. In edits, that familiar ding carries an immediate meaning: someone is outside, waiting to be let in. Creators use that recognition for awkward pauses, late arrivals and jokes about being left on hold while everyone else is already inside.
