This seems to be quite an edge case, as I can find no information on this.
**Context**
We have a regular "coffee chat" meeting in our group, and we use a Google Meet URL for this meeting, always the same, and we meet at known times a day. No need to have a calendar entry for this.
So, on the desktop computer, I can always easily reuse the URL (e.g. such one: https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hjk) like described [here](https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9303069?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) .
**Problem**
But now I am mostly using my Android Tablet to join, and I wonder how to set up a Home Screen icon/widget/link with that URL.
I can use Google Chrome to paste the URL into, but it will automatically start the Meet app. I have no chance to create a shortcut link first. Also, I have not found yet a way to create a link directly from the home screen.
**Question**
How to create a home screen icon/link/widget that directly opens a given Google Meet URL?
