Google has improved its picture-in-picture experience for Google Meet, letting users access more controls from the menu.
Published Jun 8th, 2023 8:14PM EDTLet’s face it. None of us like to be in a virtual meeting, especially when you need to have your camera on. Even worse, trying to get work done if you don’t have multiple monitors is a fun game of jumping between tabs to raise your hand, use in-meeting chat, and more.
Using Google Meet’s picture-in-picture mode was not a viable solution to this problem either, as it only allows you to use a couple of controls. Well, until now! In a, Google announced a new update to Google Meet that adds a lot more controls in the picture-in-picture window. The company specifically said that “we’re updating the Google Meet picture-in-picture experience to be more engaging and feature-rich.” Users can now access the following features and controls right from the picture-in-picture window: More effectively resize the picture-in-picture view This is a huge quality of life improvement as users could previously only control their camera and microphone when using picture-in-picture.
Previously, you could only turn your camera or microphone on/off or leave the meeting from the picture-in-picture window. Our new picture-in-picture experience provides greater flexibility when screen sharing or navigating to a relevant screen for a more dynamic experience. I usually work from my desk, where I have an external monitor, but for the times I work from the couch , being able to access all of the controls I need using the picture-in-picture mode is a great benefit. I’ll definitely start using this mode when I need to be in a meeting and am just using my laptop. I’ll be able to truly multitask instead of jumping back and forth between tabs in Chrome.
