According to Google, this could be particularly useful for remote learning, which usually takes place in the living room. But it can also provide a change of scenery for those who are calling in their stuffy home office. The post said, “Change the usual atmosphere and enjoy your morning meetings on your TV screen in the living room, together with a great cup of coffee.”(opens in a new tab),
Google has been rapidly expanding Meet over the past half year as more and more people use the videoconferencing software to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier a paid software meet was made free for all in April.
Google Meet will be rolling out to Chromecast “over the next few days”.
