Admins can display custom policy text in the Google Meet Green Room before users join calls, optionally including a URL and conditionally showing it only during recording, transcription, or Gemini notes.
To help ensure end users are familiar with organizational policies for handling meeting artifacts like recordings, transcriptions, and notes by Gemini, Google is introducing the ability to set custom policy text from the admin console that is displayed prior to users joining Google Meet calls. Admins can display a custom short message in the Green Room prior to users joining a Meet call and include a URL to a webpage with more information about company policies. The policy can be set to always display or only when the meeting is being recorded, transcribed, or notes are being taken by Gemini. The feature is OFF by default and can be enabled at the OU level under Meet Safety Settings.

Video tile pairing rolls out to Google Meet on iOS mobile, allowing users to pair their video tile with another participant for side-by-side display and improved accessibility.
Following the original feature announcement for the web, video tile pairing expands to Google Meet on iOS. Users can pair their video tile with another meeting participant so both tiles are displayed side-by-side for other attendees, regardless of who is speaking. This is particularly valuable for accessibility, giving participants who are Deaf or hard of hearing the ability to pair their tile with a sign language interpreter and keep both visible in the same frame. Once paired, both tiles are highlighted and positioned together in the meeting layout, with live captions displayed and attributed to both speakers.

Users can now switch from watching a Google Meet live stream to participating with audio and video directly on Android.
While watching a live stream on an Android device, eligible viewers who have been invited to both the live stream and the main meeting can switch roles using the meeting title, live streaming badge, or the info button in the overflow menu. This in-app workflow eliminates the need to reopen join links or switch apps, and existing meeting access permissions and domain policies apply to ensure only authorized participants can join with media.

Google Meet homepage now shows conference room and meeting location details, with intelligent room prioritization, wayfinding, and Google Maps integration.
Starting September 14, 2026, the Google Meet homepage on the web displays conference room and physical meeting location details directly on upcoming meeting cards. For meetings with multiple rooms, the system prioritizes the room in the user's working location (set in Google Calendar) and highlights it. Clicking a room opens wayfinding or campus maps, while offsite addresses open Google Maps for turn‑by‑turn directions. Location details are prominently shown for meetings happening now or starting soon (<10 minutes) and appear on hover for later meetings, with an overflow button for multiple locations. No admin or end‑user settings are required; the feature uses existing building and room resources from the Admin console. Rollout is gradual over up to 15 days, beginning September 14 for Rapid Release domains and September 28 for Scheduled Release domains, and is available to all Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual subscribers.
