Google Meet Add-ons on Android: How It Will Work
Android users will be able to find Meet add-ons in the Activities panel. This feature will be located alongside other functionalities like polls and Q&A. However, it’s important to note that desktop add-ons that won’t be available on mobile will be categorized as “Unavailable.”
Google stated that the visibility of all add-ons will be controlled by a dedicated setting, which will have separate toggles for the visibility of first-party and featured third-party add-ons. The company also confirmed that admins will be able to review their configuration by heading to Settings > Google Workspace > Apps in Google Meet’s video settings.
It’s also crucial to note that this setting will handle add-on availability for both the desktop and Android apps. This means that the configured setting will determine what types of add-ons users will see.
However, the end user won’t have to do anything while admins need to configure the settings for varied experiences. This setting will determine which add-ons in Google Meet will open on the user’s Android device.
