The problem stems from the fact that Google converts URLs into redirects across its product suite, Wright detailed in a blog. Open redirects take you from a Google URL to another website chosen by the person who constructed the link. When a link is posted into the chat messages in a Google Meet session, it is converted to a Google Meet link. “Clicking on this link will then take the user to the appropriate URL,” Wright says.
