Unlike earlier when you had to give yourself a few extra minutes to join a video call again after restarting your computer, things are different now. When it comes to joining calls Google Meet takes a leap of faith by providing the “Switch Here” feature, which will result in ushering in the era of call transfers and make the call-switching process extremely easy for users.
Imagine this: you are traveling in a taxi or perhaps making a call on your mobile phone. With your desk facing you, you can access Google Meet’s web interface and you’ll see the “Switch Here” option on the screen. The phone call is about to go through and instead of having to mess with the transfer, it switches in one click and continues on your computer. Issues like awkward actions, hang-ups and lack of message being conveyed are history. A silent alert on your cell phone informs you that you have just been transferred to another line, so you probably won’t need an explanation.
but that’s not all. “Switch Here” is an excellent contender for flexible clay in terms of its uses. It’s not just about moving in one direction at a time. Does it happen when someone calls you when you are out of the house and you need to take the call again? Simply open the Meet app on your phone and use the “Switch Here” function, this way you’re sure to join the conversation. This bi-directional scenario addresses the fact of a rapidly changing business environment where being present-based is important.
The best part? To add to this, it is not only telephones but also computers. In fact, “Switch Here,” a feature that integrates Google Meet’s platforms on both the web as well as Android and iOS devices, is a great example of cohesive communication. Whether you’re a Google Workspace user or you access it from a personal account, this feature is set to appear over the next few weeks and will become more useful, enabling a more flexible and workflow-friendly user journey.
