Google Meet is an excellent tool for video calls, conferences, and meetings. It has become even better with each passing year, as Google has been continuously adding more features to it. Google Meet will get better for those who want to switch from one device to another during a call.

Google Meet to make it easier to switch from one device to another

Google has announced that users can switch between devices during a Google Meet call starting today. This device switching can happen between a smartphone and a computer (via a web browser). For example, if you are on the go and receive a Google Meet call, you can accept it. Once you reach home, you can head over to your PC or laptop, open the Google Meet webpage in a web browser, and switch the ongoing video call to that device.

Google Meet Switch Device Phone Web

Once the user opens the Google Meet website on a web browser, they will see a ‘Switch Here' button. Clicking that button seamlessly transfers the video call from the smartphone to the web browser. Apparently, it is so seamless that the ongoing conversation won't get cut off during the switching process. This new feature has already started rolling out, and it will be available to Google Workspace accounts and users with personal Google accounts.

Galaxy smartphone and tablet users can transfer their ongoing Google Meet calls and meetings to a Galaxy Book or Galaxy Chromebook laptop. Other options include joining the video call on both devices and using the companion mode. This takes Google's ecosystem to a higher level regarding video calling than Apple's.
