Google is making changes to its messaging app ecosystem. It doesn’t matter when you read this. It’s a message that’s useful almost anytime, as the enterprise application environment has adapted since time immemorial. Black and white television. Now Google Meet is preparing new features to make it more fun once Google Duo’s absorption is complete.
The next thing that’s on its way to Google Meet, which was chased down by 9to5Google, is that the app will integrate with other apps to make meetings and video conferencing more enjoyable. The sneer of seriousness will fade with the presence of enterprise applications such as Youtube to watch group videosas well as music from Spotify or various games.
More complete and fun calls
As is often the case in these cases, new application features are anticipated from the code of previous versions. Nothing is implemented from scratch in each release, hints appear that show where future changes are going and where Google Meet code refers to the future integration of different applications. Google wants to enrich the user experience of its Meet and for that it will turn to the closest ecosystem.
From 9to5Google, they detect new text strings introduced in the code of version 2022.07.23 of the Google Meet app that notify changes. Changes such as the use of content streaming applications such as Spotify or YouTube will be integrated. This indicates that in Meet video calls YouTube videos shared by all participants can be viewedall at the same time as a group viewing like that allowed by applications like Amazon Prime Video, for example.
Spotify songs can also be shared, so that all participants listen to the same piece of music at the same time. And yes, there will also be games. The first codes that appeared already point to titles as well known as ‘Heads Up’, ‘Kahoot’ or the eternal and well-known ‘UNO’. Video calls will be more fun. Also more efficient, beware, because ‘GQueues’ will also join the party, the task manager can be integrated with Meet.
For the moment everything indicates that these integrations (which will not be done completely natively but by using other installed apps) will initially be limited to the Android ecosystem. To accommodate these changes in iOS or in Google Meet in the browser, we will have to wait. We’ll see when we get them so we can test their effect and if it’s true that Meet calls are better.
