Google Meet introduces ‘Switch Here’ feature that lets users switch devices without leaving a call

Google Meet is getting a new feature that will make it easier for users to switch between two different devices while on a call.

The new feature, dubbed Switch Here, will remove the need to end the call from one device and rejoin from a different device, making the process seamless.

The tech giant has made the feature available for both Workspace accounts as well personal account holders.

Notably, earlier this year Google introduced a new feature for its videoconferencing app which allowed hosts and co-hosts to pin up to three participants on the screen.

This is a handy feature for those who have to attend meetings while they are travelling or are not near a computer.

Instead of delaying the meeting because of the device unavailability, they can simply join from their phone and switch as they reach their primary device. 

While this feature is available to Google Workspace users who are paid subscribers, this feature is free to use and is also available to personal account holders.

Google has been adding new features to make its videoconferencing app more convenient to use. 

In February, the platform received a new feature that allows the host or co-host to pin up to three participants. This tool is designed to help participants easily locate the speakers in large meetings.
