Google Meet’s recent update features a redesigned user interface and new in-call messaging capabilities.

With this update, the call interface will resemble the meeting layout more closely, offering more accessible call controls. In-call messaging will allow you to share links and comments while muted, and emoji reactions will be introduced for group calls. Additional features include stacking effects like backgrounds and filters, and the option to share your screen during calls.

For those who prefer audio-only calls, Google is improving the mobile app’s interface with larger buttons for a more user-friendly experience. Additionally, you’ll soon be able to switch a call seamlessly from your PC to your Android phone or tablet.

This update marks another phase in the gradual integration of Duo and Meet. The new features are being rolled out slowly, and everyone on your call will need to have the updated app to access them. It might take some time before you see these new options in action.
