Google adds speaker notes feature to Meet: Here’s how it works

Last year in October, Google rolled out the feature to present Google Slides directly in Google Meet that allows users to engage with their audience all in one screen by presenting Slides from Meet. Now, users will also be able to view their speaker notes within Google Meet.
Here’s how speaker notes feature will work
While presenting a slide on Google Meet users can click on the new speaker notes button located in the Slides controls bar to display speaker notes within the call. This will help presenters showcase their content with confidence and engage with their audience without having to switch between notes and slides.

Google has made it clear that this feature does not have any admin control and is unavailable to users with personal Google Accounts and Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Education Fundamentals, Frontline, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers.
Availability
However, the feature is available to those with Google Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Education Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and Nonprofits customers.
For end users, they can select “Present a Tab” in Meet > choose a Google Slide presentation > click the speaker notes button in the controls at the bottom corner of the presentation.

Google apps are now optimised for foldable phones, tablets
Meanwhile, Google also announced the optimisation of its workspace apps, which includes Google Docs, Sheets and Slides for tablets and foldable phones. The search engine giant launched the easy drag and drop texts and images from Google Slides to other Android apps. During the Google I/O event, the company announced that it would update 20+ Google applications to work better on tablets and foldable phones.
The update is scheduled to be rolled out in a phased manner and may take up to 15 days to become visible.
