"Google Meet Introduces Interactive 'Companion Mode' for Android and iOS Users"
Google is introducing its "Companion Mode" to the Meet app on Android and iOS, allowing users to access interactive features and controls when participating in a Meet call via an in-room audio/video conferencing system. This mode enables users to check in, share emoji reactions, raise their hand, turn on captions, exchange chat messages, and view presented content on their mobile devices without needing to open a laptop. The feature is particularly useful for large in-person meetings and is rolling out over the coming weeks for Workspace and personal Google Accounts.
