Google Meet Update Offers All Users a New Call Interface with Contact Suggestions

A new call-screen interface for Google Meet is allegedly being made available to all users. When this update was initially released a year ago, only users with enterprise accounts could access it. Along with contact recommendations, the redesigned call screen features a new pill-shaped search bar at the top. Notably, this development occurs after Google updated Meet with a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature that allows AI-generated notes after the conference is over.

Google Meet Update Gives Every User Access to a New Call Interface

Android users are beginning to receive the new Google Meet call experience. Larger meeting and group creation buttons have been revamped in addition to the new pill-shaped search bar. Furthermore, Google Meet now offers call suggestions to users in a grid format.

According to Google, these recommendations are based on their interactions, such as highlighted contacts or recently exchanged emails. Google has also added a new home screen shortcut that can be used to initiate meetings by inputting a code, in addition to the redesigned user interface. When users press the Code option, the meeting’s code can be entered to begin.

The Google Meet 266 update includes these modifications and can be downloaded.

In recent months, Google has added a number of new capabilities to its online meeting platform. This includes a feature that is exclusive to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold that allows users to use the foldable smartphone’s inner and outer cameras simultaneously for video conferences.

The ‘Take notes for me’ function is another new addition to Google Workspace. It is accessible to customers that have either the AI Meetings & Messaging add-on, Gemini Enterprise, or Gemini Education Premium. It can create full transcriptions as well as AI-generated meeting notes, but the latter requires explicit activation.
