Google Meet finally lands on Android Auto, giving you one less excuse to skip a meeting
Google Meet finally lands on Android Auto, giving you one less excuse to skip a meeting-August 2024
2026-06-23 EDT 02:20:27

Android Auto is finally getting Google Meet, months after the video conferencing app made its debut on Apple CarPlay. Android users can now pull up scheduled meetings and dial recent contacts straight from their cars display instead of reaching for their phone.

  How it works behind the wheel

In a Workspace Updates blog, Google explains that Android Auto users who already have Google Meet installed on their phone will receive the feature automatically, and the only setup involved is a one-time restart of the app on the device itself. Once the phone connects to a supported head unit, Meet will display two tabs, one for scheduled meetings and another listing recent calls that can be redialed with a single tap.

Google Meet now available on Android Auto.

You can now access Google Meet directly from your cars dashboard and handle important meetings hands-free from behind the wheel.

As usual, camera is off and meetings are audio only so you can keep the eyes on the road! https://t.co/pAFsgttAEw pic.twitter.com/dwfknz7bxr

Chandu Thota (@ChanduThota) June 23, 2026 Joining a call switches the phone into Meets on the go mode, which disables the camera and strips away features like chat, hand raise, polls, and QA, leaving drivers with an audio-only experience where the available controls are limited to muting, connecting to other Bluetooth accessories, and ending the call. Instant meeting links that havent already been added to a calendar reportedly dont appear in the scheduled tab, which could make it difficult to jump into an unscheduled call from the dashboard.

The feature is on by default for anyone with the Meet app installed on an Android phone, and Google hasnt introduced any admin controls that would let organizations turn it off. The rollout is underway now for Rapid Release domains, while Scheduled Release domains are expected to receive it by June 26, with availability extending to Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and personal Google accounts.

  Catching up to the iPhone

Google brought the same audio-only Meet experience to Apple CarPlay back in April, leaving Android Auto waiting for months despite being Googles own platform. Microsoft Teams already supports audio calls on Android Auto, so Meets arrival brings Googles app in line with what the rival service has offered for quite some time.

Recommended Videos For commuters who rely on scheduled calls, the rollout finally closes a gap that had Googles own service trailing Apples in-car experience for nearly three months.
