Google Meet’s new “Switch here” feature lets you transfer an active call between devices like a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer without hanging up.
Google is making it a lot easier to move between devices during a meeting. The new “Switch here” feature allows you to move an active Meet call from your computer to your smartphone or vice versa. This means you can swap devices as you sit down at your desk or get up to go somewhere during a full group session without your tile bouncing in and out of the window. There’s also a new function that allows you to join a call in two places.
So, you can have your call active on the kitchen tablet and office computer while you run back and forth, flipping an egg and pulling an espresso shot . Using the feature won’t require you to learn a new button or menu. While you’re on a call, open up the same meeting link on the device you want to jump to and click the blue “Switch here” button . And if you want to be on two devices, click “Other joining options” and select “Join here too.
