Google Meet is one of the top video chat apps, which is rolling out a redesigned call screen for Android devices. However, this update provides a larger video feed by replacing margins that would give all the users a more enhanced experience.

The new design also includes a sleeker interface for meeting controls and titles.

What’s new in Google Meet?

The updated call screen is now available for all the Android users, with the web version already featuring a similar design.

Google announced this change in August, and it's now widely rolling out. The new design frees up space, making it ideal for 1:1 and group calls.

Screenshots and availability

Google shared a few screenshots of its renewed call screen in landscape mode. Below, the screenshot shows a standard 1:1 video call.

The feature starts rolling out to all users, including both personal Google Accounts and customers using Google Workspace. This update is on your Android device live now.

Advanced AI features

Google Meet is making changes not only with visuals but also with advanced AI features like "Take notes for me." This will eliminate attendees having to take notes for themselves.

However, have a few limitations to this date, such as the fact that it supports only one language, which is English, and it is accessible only on the computer or laptop device.
