“This makes it easier for meeting attendees to follow along with your presentation, find and reference your material later on, and continue working on action items from the meeting,” Google said.

Moreover, the company also announced that whenever users paste a link into the meeting chat, they will be “prompted with the file access dialogue.”

From there, users can adjust access as needed and choose to attach the file to the calendar event. As per the company, “There is no admin control for this feature, while these updates will be available by default.

Earlier this month, the tech giant announced that it is adding a new feature which will allow users to view their speaker notes within Google Meet, while presenting Google Slides.

Users just have to click the new speaker notes button in the Slides controls bar in Meet to display their speaker notes within the call.

As per the company, “By allowing sharing directly from Meet, you can seamlessly share presented content without having to switch into another window to grant access, which can be disruptive.”

Google further reveals that it is available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers. Additionally, it will also be available to users with personal Google Accounts.
