Google Meet Update Brings New Call Interface With Contact Suggestions to All Users

Google
Meet
is
reportedly
rolling
out
a
new
call-screen
interface
to
all
users.
This
change
was
first
introduced
last
year
but
was
only
available
to
those
with
an
enterprise
account.
The
new
call
screen
introduces
a
new
pill-shaped
search
bar
at
the
top,
while
also
providing
contact
suggestions.
Notably,
this
development
comes
after
Google
introduced
a
new
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
feature
for
Meet
that
will
enable
AI-generated
notes
once
the
meeting
has
concluded.

Google
Meet
Update
Brings
New
Call
Interface
to
All
Users

The
new
interface
for
calls
on
Google
Meet
has
started
to
roll
out
to
users
on
Android
(via 9to5Google).
Alongside
the
new
pill-shaped
search
bar,
there
are
redesigned
larger
buttons
for
creating
and
scheduling
meetings
and
making
a
group.
Additionally,
Google
Meet
now
also
provides
users
with
suggestions
for
calls
in
a
grid.

These
suggestions
are
based
on
their
interactions,
such
as
starred
contacts
or
recently
sent
emails.,
according
to Google.
Alongside
the
new
UI,
Google
has
also
introduced
a
new
home
screen
shortcut
which
can
be
used
to
start
meetings
by
entering
a
code.
It
appears
as
a


Code
option,
tapping
which
users
can
enter
the
meeting’s
code
to
start
it.

These
changes
are
part
of
the
Google
Meet
266
update
which
is
available
for
download.
Gadgets
360
staff
members
were
able
to
verify
the
new
interface
on
Google
Meet
for
Android
but
could
not
spot
it
on
Google
Meet
for
iOS.

Google
has
rolled
out
several
new
features
for
its
virtual
meeting
platform
in
recent
months.
This

includes
an
exclusive
functionality
for
the
Pixel
9
Pro
Fold
which
enables
users
to
use
the
inner
and
outer
cameras
of
the
foldable
smartphone
simultaneously
during
video
conferencing.

Another
recent

addition
is
the
‘Take
notes
for
me’
feature
which
is
available
for
Google
Workspace
users
who
have
either
Gemini
Enterprise,
Gemini
Education
Premium,
or
the
AI
Meetings
&
Messaging
add-ons.
It
provides
AI-generated
meeting
notes
and
can
also
generate
entire
transcriptions,
but
the
latter
has
to
be
manually
enabled.
