San Francisco: Google is developing a new "On-the-Go" mode for the video communication platform "Meet" that would enable users to continue video calls while walking in a secure and simple manner, according to reports.
When the 'On-the-Go' mode is made available, there will be two ways to access it, according to 9To5Google.
Users will receive a prompt to switch to the travel-friendly mode if Google Meet detects that they are walking (using the motion sensors on the phone).
Or, users could manually switch to the feature with a new option in the in-call menu.
Earlier this month, the company had started to roll out a new viewer mode in its video communication service, which allows users to select "Everyone is a viewer" when creating their Calendar invite.
When using Google Meet for large meetings, designating attendees as "viewers" will help reduce potential meeting distractions, like audio disruptions.
Meanwhile, in April this year, the company had rolled out a 1080p video call option for Meet users, in an effort to enhance the user experience.
