1] Remove Google Meet with official option
OK, so the first thing you will want to do here, is to open Gmail via your web browser. From the top-right section of the page, click on the gear icon, and then select Settings. From the Settings menu, please click on Chat and Meet, and from that tab, look for Meet, and click on Hide the Meet section in the main menu.

Yes, it sounds like a great idea. Doing this ensures that Meet does not interfere with labels, so you get to have your cake and eat it too.
