Google Meet facilitates call switching and allows you to move calls between devices without having to log out.

The new ‘move Here’ functionality in Google Meet allows users to easily move between devices while a call is still in progress. Additionally, the capability allows you to simultaneously join a call from two separate devices.

In Short

  • Google Meet introduces new feature ‘Switch Here’
  • It users to switch devices during an ongoing call
  • The feature also enables users to join a call from two different devices

Consider this. You are sitting comfortably at your workstation, participating in a virtual work meeting. Your mother abruptly enters the room and instructs you to move because she wants this one. But, since the meeting is already underway, telling your employer that you need to move to a different room would be somewhat awkward. All of us have experienced such circumstances during the epidemic, when working remotely was commonplace.

The only thing we could do at the time was ask our supervisor to pardon us while we connected from a different device for a short period of time. And for that, we had to end the call and pick it up again. However, that will no longer be the case, thanks to a new feature in Google Meet. Finally, the IT giant has made it simpler to move between devices while on the phone. We call this new feature “Switch Here.”

Google announced the functionality in a blog post, writing, “In the modern world, we may do our work from multiple locations and on multiple devices. As of right now, you can seamlessly switch between devices while participating in a Google Meet call without ending and returning.

When you got to your workplace, you could easily transition from using your tablet or smartphone to your laptop, for instance, if you were having a meeting call. When you join a meeting on your laptop, you’ll notice the new Switch Here option.

WhatsApp launches the “View Once” voice note function!

New Delhi [India], December 7: WhatsApp is testing a “View Once” feature for voice notes. This feature is currently being tested for Android and iOS users who are using the beta version of the app.
WhatsApp introduced “View Once” for photos and videos in 2021 to add another layer of privacy to your messages.
Today, WhatsApp announced that the user can now send a voice message that will disappear once listened to.
The feature allows users to designate voice notes as “View Once.” This enhances privacy by preventing the recipient from exporting, forwarding, saving, or recording the voice note. The “View Once” audio will disappear once the recipient listens to it.
For reading out credit card details to a friend or when planning a surprise, now users can also share sensitive information over voice message with added peace of mind.
For consistency with View Once photos and videos, “View Once” voice messages are clearly marked with the “one-time” icon and can only be played one time.
As with all your personal messages, WhatsApp protects your voice messages with end- to-end encryption by default, and View Once is just another example of our continued privacy innovation.
“View Once” voice messages are rolling out globally over the coming days.
