The picture-in-picture mode (PiP) feature — which started rolling out June 16, allows users to see up to four video tiles in a floating window on top of other platforms — making multitasking easier. Meetings can also be joined directly through Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, allowing everyone to collaborate and communicate in real-time, all from the same tab. Plus, Google’s multpin functionality — also just released, will allow users to pin three items in Google Meet, including presentations and people in your team, making your meetings more inclusive and accessible. As one of the most popular big tech brands worldwide, Google is known for its intuitive tools, ease and accessibility, but with web conferencing services tools like Zoom already hot on its tail, Google Meet has fierce competition and it knows it. Within PiP mode, users can mute their microphones, control their camera, leave the call, and jump back into the Meet tab with ease. Meeting presenters will also be able to view chat notifications, hand raises and join meeting requests, making the presentation experience even smoother. The feature is available to all Google Workspace customers, including legacy G Suite Basic, Business customers and people with a personal Google account.
