Google Meet’s Ever Growing Feature List
The new automatic PiP feature may seem like a small one, but it will be a game changer for Google Meet users, and will make meeting run a lot more smoothly.
Google hasn’t rested on its laurels when it comes to new Meet features, with a steady stream of new one being released on a regular basis, making constant quality of life improvements.
At the end of last year, it added AI hand recognition, so that users can physically raise their hands to make a point, replacing the need to click a button (though you can still do that, if you really love clicking buttons).
It also introduced an automatic noise reduction feature for participants who join a call from their phone, meaning that others on the call won’t hear the barista shouting out coffee orders in whatever Starbucks you happen to be working in that day.
Google has worked hard to constantly improve Meet after the pandemic-influenced boom of web conferencing platforms in 2020. While Zoom still remains the most well-known, we actually rate Google Meet very highly in our research – we rate it over Microsoft Teams, not to mention Zoom.
