With the new Google Meet app you’ll get improved performance and easy-to-access features, like video backgrounds, that make meetings more inclusive and fun. Google Meet is also now pre-installed on all new Chromebooks, so it’s easy to search for the app by pressing the Everything Button or key.
Add an emoji with the new picker
It’s even easier to express yourself with emoji on Chromebooks. The new keyboard shortcut (Everything Button or key + Shift + Space) brings up a compact emoji picker.
