Google Meet and Microsoft Teams just got better at working together
Your meeting room no longer has to pick a side.
Google Meet and Microsoft Teams are now better equipped to work together, according to recent updates. The feature enables Google Meet hardware to join Microsoft Teams calls, while Android-based Microsoft Teams Rooms can seamlessly join Google Meet meetings. This functionality began rolling out on October 1 and is expected to reach eligible Google Workspace customers within 1-3 days.
The issue of joining a video call only to find the platform differs from the meeting room setup is a common pain point for many. Google addressed this problem last month with a preview of a new interoperability feature. This functionality allows Meet and Teams hardware to collaborate, eliminating the usual barriers between the two platforms.
For instance, if a company primarily uses Meet but a client sends a Teams invite, the user can join the call without needing a laptop or switching rooms, thanks to this new capability.
