Introduction to New Features
In a recent update, Google has announced enhanced interoperability between Google Meet hardware and Zoom Room calls, ensuring a smoother experience for users. This update adds the ability to select the appropriate layout suited to the scenario at hand, making remote communication more effective.
Layout Options for Every Meeting
Now, every time a user joins a Google Meet call from Zoom Rooms, a quick dive into the “view” options lets them change their layout instantly. The choices include tiled view, speaker spotlight view, or sidebar view—perfect for tailoring the meeting experience. On the flip side, those jumping into Zoom meetings from Google Meet hardware can navigate to the “change layout” setting in their device options. Here, they can switch between the gallery and speaker views, depending on their preferences.
Availability and Compatibility
Google assures that the Zoom interoperability feature on Google Meet hardware is available for all Google Workspace customers, provided their devices haven’t surpassed their auto-update expiration dates. Similarly, Zoom Rooms customers utilizing supported devices can access Google Meet interoperability. However, it’s worth noting that some devices may require a software update from their manufacturers to fully support these new features. Keeping everything up to date is essential for a seamless meeting experience!
