Google indicated that it intends to increase customers' flexibility while on essential professional calls. Interestingly, Zoom, another video conferencing software, adopted a similar functionality last year to solve the concerns reported by its users. 

How Does It Work? 

The new feature enables users to switch from mobile video calls to PCs and vice versa. Customers only have to launch Google Meet on their backup devices. Following that, users will see the Switch Here option. After the user makes that selection, the platform will be able to transfer to the second device and then terminate the call on the first device once the transfer is complete.
