The Google Meet join sound comes from Google's video meeting platform and became widely recognizable during the rise of remote work and online classes in the early 2020s. Its popularity in short edits comes less from a single viral post and more from everyday familiarity: millions of people heard it repeatedly in school, office and family calls. Creators still use it because one quick chime immediately signals a virtual meeting, a late arrival or the start of another scheduled call without needing any extra explanation.
