New Delhi: Google has added features including "polls, Q&A, and reactions" to its video conferencing programme Meet for mobile devices, which aims to facilitate user interaction during live streams.
These features are accessible to customers "when they're available" if they join a live stream through the Google Meet app on iOS or Android, according to the tech giant.
In addition, the company noted that this update is applicable for "ultra-low latency live streams" only, the standard live streaming experience remains the same.
According to the tech giant, the 'Q&A' feature in Meet will offer an easy way to better engage audiences and help them get their questions answered, both at work and in school, whereas 'polls' can be used to identify topics that need more discussion or test understanding of the meeting content.
Meanwhile, Google has introduced new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features for its Chromebook Plus laptops that will allow users to chat with Gemini, reimagine photos and others.
Starting at $350, Chromebook Plus devices provide additional AI features such as industry-leading security, Google apps, and extended battery life.
