Google Meet has finally arrived on Android Auto, providing you with one less reason to miss a meeting.

      Android users can now participate in scheduled meetings and audio calls via their car's dashboard, finally catching up to the feature that iPhone users have enjoyed for months.

      Android Auto is now integrating Google Meet, several months after the video conferencing app launched on Apple CarPlay. Android users can now access scheduled meetings and contact recent callers directly from their car’s display without needing to reach for their phone.

      How it operates while driving

      In a Workspace Updates blog post, Google outlined that Android Auto users who already have Google Meet on their phone will receive the update automatically, requiring only a one-time restart of the app. Once the phone is linked to a compatible head unit, Meet will show two tabs: one for scheduled meetings and another for recent calls that can be redialed with a single tap.

      Google Meet is now accessible on Android Auto. You can manage important meetings hands-free from your car’s dashboard. As always, the camera is disabled, and meetings are audio-only to keep your focus on the road! 🙂 https://t.co/pAFsgttAEw pic.twitter.com/dwfknz7bxr— Chandu Thota (@ChanduThota) June 23, 2026

      When you join a call, the phone switches to Meet’s “on the go” mode, disabling the camera and removing features like chat, hand raising, polls, and Q&A, resulting in an audio-only experience where users can only mute, connect to Bluetooth devices, or end the call. Meeting links that are not saved in the calendar reportedly do not appear in the scheduled tab, which may complicate joining unscheduled calls from the dashboard.

      The feature is enabled by default for anyone with the Meet app on an Android phone, and Google has not provided any admin controls for organizations to disable it. The rollout has begun for Rapid Release domains, with Scheduled Release domains expected to receive it by June 26, extending availability to Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and personal Google accounts.

      Catching up to iPhone users

      Google introduced the same audio-only Meet feature to Apple CarPlay in April, leaving Android Auto users waiting for months despite it being Google's own platform. Microsoft Teams already supports audio calls on Android Auto, so the addition of Meet aligns Google's app with what competitors have provided for a considerable amount of time.

      For commuters who regularly participate in scheduled calls, this rollout finally bridges the gap that had left Google’s service lagging behind Apple’s in-car offering for nearly three months.

This marks the company’s sixth recall within a year, following other incidents involving flooded roads, telephone poles, gates, towed trucks, and school buses.
