Although Google’s integration of Meet and Duo may be perplexing, it should bring about some beneficial improvements. Users of the updated Meet may now share Spotify and YouTube streams during talks thanks to a new live sharing beta feature that the business has included. You may also play games like Kahoot and Uno Mobile. If you’ve used SharePlay, the functionality will sound familiar, but Apple’s media capability does not support Spotify or YouTube.

The Meet enhancements include virtual backgrounds, planned repeating meetings, and in-meeting chats. Live sharing has been trickling out over the past few weeks, much like the Meet features coming to Duo. For mobile devices, the transition from Duo to Meet will happen throughout August; for other platforms, it will happen later.

The Meet-and-Duo partnership has been promoted by Google as an adjustment to the contemporary reality of video chats. Live sharing amply illustrates this. In light of the increased prevalence of distant hangouts following the pandemic, it is acknowledged that many people use video chats as social spaces.
