  • Google Meet for Android is getting a revamped new call screen that gives it a more modern look.
  • The updated Start a call screen offers relevant contact suggestions to help you quickly start meetings.
  • Google has also added a Code shortcut to the app’s home screen that lets users start meetings with a code.

Google gave Meet a much-needed revamp earlier this year with an updated video call experience, new tools to help users share links and reactions, and a couple of new features. The company is now rolling out a similar redesign for the new call screen that gives it a more modern appearance.

Google first released the new ‘Start a call’ screen to enterprise Google Meet users late last year, and it’s now rolling out to free Google Account users (via 9to5Google). It features a pill-shaped Search bar at the top, followed by larger buttons to create meeting links, schedule meetings, and create a new group.
