Google Meet introduces a new call screen interface for all users

Google Meet is reportedly introducing a new call screen interface to all users. This change was first introduced last year, but was only available to those with enterprise accounts. The new calling screen introduces a new pill-shaped search bar at the top and also offers contact suggestions. Notably, this development comes after Google introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature for Meet that enables AI-generated notes once the meeting ends.

Google Meet Update brings new calling interface to all users

The new interface for calls on Google Meet is rolling out to users on Android (via 9to5Google). In addition to the new pill-shaped search bar, there are redesigned, larger buttons for creating and scheduling meetings and creating a group. Additionally, Google Meet now also offers users call suggestions in a grid.

These suggestions are based on their interactions, such as starred contacts or recently sent emails, Google said. In addition to the new user interface, Google has also introduced a new home screen shortcut that allows you to start meetings by entering a code. It appears as a Code option, by tapping which users can enter the meeting code to start it.

These changes are part of the Google Meet 266 update available for download. Gadgets 360 employees were able to verify the new interface on Google Meet for Android, but were unable to recognize it on Google Meet for iOS.

Google has rolled out several new features for its virtual meeting platform in recent months. This includes a feature exclusive to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold that allows users to use the foldable smartphone’s indoor and outdoor cameras simultaneously during video conferencing.

Another recent addition is the “Take Notes for Me” feature available to Google Workspace users who have Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education Premium, or the AI ​​Meetings & Messaging add-ons. It offers AI-generated meeting notes and can also generate full transcripts, but the latter must be enabled manually.
