We have good news for all those who use the Google Enterprise solution for their businesses. You can now stay connected with the Google Meet On the Go Mode.
This new feature will improve the way you attend meetings. Users need to walk around during a conference call and, understanding that reality, Google is currently working on a new mode for Google Meet called ‘On-the-Go.’
Google Meet On the Go Mode
The concept behind this mode is to make walking while tuned into a Google Meet meeting much safer. It accomplishes this by creating a much more intuitive layout that, according to 9to5Google, “will disable your camera in the call and stop streaming video from other participants.
‘On-the-Go’ can be enabled in two ways: the first is by Google Meet detecting through your smartphone’s motion sensors that you’re walking.
It will prompt you to switch to the new mode. And for the second method, you can manually enable the mode through the in-call menu.
Google has been working on making its video call application much more functional. Both 2022 and 2023 have seen a host of changes to the UI.
Back in 2022, Google added several other features like subject tracking to better focus on a participant, letting users mute and unmute themselves on the desktop version by using the spacebar, and automatically adjusting a participant’s mic input to avoid particularly massive discrepancies in volumes.
New features include picture-in-picture mode, blocking video feeds from other meeting participants, and using generative AI to create new backgrounds during meetings.
