Present Google Slides directly in Google Meet
This announcement was made at Google Cloud Next ‘22. Visit the Cloud Blog to learn more about the latest Google Workspace innovations for the ever-changing world of work.
What’s changing
Many Google Meet users share content on their screen during meetings, and we know it’s important for presenters to actively interact with their audience.
You will now be able to control your Slides and engage with your audience all in one screen by presenting Slides from Meet. This updated experience can help you present with greater confidence and ultimately make digital interactions feel more like when you’re physically together.
