- Google Meet now has a full-screen option for presentations and screen shares.
- The feature pushes participants into a sidebar so content takes center stage.
- It’s rolling out now for Rapid Release and coming August 14 to Scheduled Release.
If you’ve spent any time in a Google Meet call, you’ll know that part of the screen is a slide deck and the rest is a gallery of participants reacting or pretending to pay attention. Google’s latest tweak aims to make that first half a little easier to focus on.
As laid out in a Google Workspaces update, the company has started rolling out a new full-screen option for presentations and screen shares. This option lets you maximize the shared content while pushing meeting participants into a slim sidebar. The result is that slides, documents, or demos will take up more of your screen, and everything else takes up less.
