Google offers the Interactive Google Meet Companion mode for Android and iOS users. This feature, first introduced for the web and Nest Hub Max, allows users to participate in conferences via their mobile devices.

Companion mode is designed for situations where users join an in-room audio/video conferencing system instead of their own devices. Thanks to this feature, users can access interactive features and controls during the meeting.

Features and controls they can access:

Ability to check in to the conference room on mobile devices

Share emoji reactions without interrupting the speaker

Raising hand to indicate willingness to speak

View captions during a meeting

Ability to exchange chat messages with other participants

Ability to follow the presenter from their own devices

Google positions Companion mode as allowing you to “join meetings without opening your laptop.” This feature allows users to easily participate in meeting spaces or large face-to-face meetings where space for a laptop is limited.

Google Meet Companion mode will be available on Android and iOS platforms in the coming weeks. This feature will be available for Workspace and personal Google Accounts.

You can also use the check-in feature on mobile devices, making it easier for other participants to see your name next to the conference room you’re joining.
