Google Rolls Out Meet to Android Auto

Google has begun rolling out support for its video conferencing app, Google Meet, to Android Auto, allowing drivers to join audio meetings and make calls directly from compatible vehicle infotainment systems. The feature, which emphasizes safety through a simplified, audio-only interface, follows a similar integration launched for Apple CarPlay earlier this month. However, the Android Auto version currently excludes support for work accounts, limiting its utility for many professional users.

The rollout is occurring as a server-side update, meaning it is appearing gradually on devices without requiring a new app download. Users with compatible Android smartphones can connect via Bluetooth or USB to access Google Meet on their car's display. Once connected, the app presents a minimal interface designed to minimize distractions. A Scheduled tab displays upcoming meetings pulled from the user's synchronized calendar, enabling a single-tap join. Similarly, a History tab allows quick calls to recent contacts or groups. Meetings launch instantly, bypassing the typical pre-call screen, with video feeds disabled by default to keep drivers focused on the road.
