It may be hard to imagine now, but it wasn’t long ago that video calling was something we only saw in futuristic science fiction movies. Today, seeing someone on the phone or computer screen during a conference call or daily check-in is a normal part of your workday.
Thanks to a revamped UI and new features, the Google Meet app is about to make video calling for work and beyond easier and more enjoyable. The Google Meet Mobile Calls tool now has enhanced tools and new elements that allow you to communicate the way you want, both in and outside the office.
This update focuses on features you can use outside the office, but some will undoubtedly be useful in your meetings.
Take Your Meetings On-The-Go
Thanks to the audio-only on-the-go mode, Google Meet Mobile Calls are easier than ever to take while you’re out and about. The control buttons are larger and more pronounced when using this mode, so you can join work calls or chat with your mom from anywhere. The more intuitive experience also makes scheduling, starting, and ending calls easier.
Also new in this version? A simple way to switch your call from your mobile device to your PC and back.
Suppose you aren’t out of the office. In that case, the new version’s revamped UI offers new video call features that allow you to customize your experience. Choose from many personalization options, including virtual backgrounds, filters, and fun overlays like accessories. The interface will enable you to use multiple effects simultaneously to create exactly what you want for every scenario. Business or personal.
Streamlined Collaboration
Whether reviewing the fourth quarter results with a client or planning a surprise party for your sister with her friends, collaborating and sharing information is simple with Google Meet Mobile Calls. The new collaboration tools allow you to share comments, files, and emojis with other attendees in real-time without interrupting the flow of the conversation. React to the funny thing your friend said or your co-workers’ brilliant suggestion with an emoji, or ask your question in the chat box to avoid interrupting.
Screen sharing is also now possible in both the Android and iOS versions of Meet, so you can share the funny video or text you receive with your friends and make presentations to your colleagues.
When You Can Expect the New Features
Google is making significant changes to Meet to improve its usability and multitasking capabilities. Before announcing the upgrade to the Google Meet Mobile Calls platform and increased mobile usability, the company revealed new AI-powered enhancements to the application. These new features will automatically take notes and summarize meetings, among other capabilities.
However, the Google Meet Mobile Calls changes focus on making the platform more attractive for users outside the office. The rollout is occurring slowly, and for the new features to work, everyone on the call must use the updated version. Google does not have a specific timeline for the complete rollout.
