SAN FRANCISCO: TechBehemoths Google is rolling out new features to Meet's picture-in-picture mode in Chrome.
The TEch giant said, "We are updating the Google Meet picture-in-picture experience to be more engaging and feature-rich," in a Workspace Updates blogpost on Wednesday, June 8.
With this feature, users can now raise their hand, turn captions on and off, access flexible layouts, and more, directly from the picture-in-picture window. Earlier, users were only able to turn their camera or microphone on and off or leave the meeting from the picture-in-picture window.
The updated picture-in-picture mode is appearing to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts. "Our new picture-in-picture experience provides greater flexibility when screen sharing or navigating to a relevant screen for a more dynamic experience," the tech giant said.
Meanwhile, last week, Google started to roll out a new viewer mode in its video communication service, which allows users to select "Everyone is a viewer" when creating their Calendar invite. When using Google Meet for large meetings, designating attendees as "viewers" will help cut potential meeting distractions, like audio disruptions.
