Following the big speech translation announcement at I/O 2025, Google Meet is improving screen sharing with a number of updates.
Google says starting Meet desktop, window, or tab screen sharing is “faster than before,” while the screen sharing button is now “larger and positioned more intuitively alongside other key controls.” This updated interface makes it “easier to find when you need it.”
Meanwhile, video quality is sharper and smoother thanks to “better handling of dynamic scenes, such as scrolling text or video content.” The last improvement is how “any previous presentation will now automatically resume if a second presenter stops sharing their screen.”
Google also announced today how users can “directly present content from their camera feed into a meeting” at up to 1080p resolution/30 FPS. This can include external and document cameras, as well as video production tools. Use cases include:
- Streaming produced video content (e.g., for town hall meetings).
- Professional sharing live feeds from external video source (e.g. microscope, camera)
- Educators presenting paper content using a document camera.
This capability is rolling out over the coming weeks to Google Workspace:
- Business Standard and Plus
- Enterprise Standard and Plus
- Frontline Standard
- Enterprise Essentials and Enterprise Essentials Plus
- Education Plus, the Teaching & Learning add-on, as well as the Endpoint Education Upgrade
