Initially, Android Auto only supported navigation and multimedia apps, but over time Google gradually opened up the system. At the last Google I/O, the company announced that it would be switching to Android Auto Apps like Zoom, WebEx and Microsoft Teams. The first two began their deployment in September and we already know when the last one will be ready.
Microsoft 365 roadmap shows this will be possible join meetings and make calls with Microsoft Teams on Android Auto from next February. That is to say, almost a year after Google announced the news.
Microsoft Teams uses Android Auto
Last year, Google announced that it would allow apps like Zoom on Android Auto, with the first batch consisting of precisely Zoom, WebEx and Microsoft Teams.
This way we can see the meetings that we have pending on the calendar and join them from the car, using audio. Soon we’ll be able to do just that, but in Microsoft Teams calls.
The Zoom and WebEx apps started rolling out to Android Auto in September, although the truth is that the rollout isn’t complete for everyone, and they should reach worldwide in February 2024at least according to Microsoft’s official development plan.
This plan states that “Teams in Android Auto lets you easily join meetings from the calendar view, quickly call your quick contacts, and view your recent calls on Android phones.” In other words, it will be useful to both of us join meetings from the car or make calls to our colleagues.
The Microsoft Teams application is already compatible with Android Auto, but with the messaging application model, based on notifications of new messages that arrive on our mobile. In February this should change to show us the calendar with our next appointments on the interface and be able to join the one who is directly in progress.
