Google Meet will let you create Spotify and YouTube group sessions

Google Meet has become one of the most used services during the lockdown that began in 2020. Now the application is still at a fairly high level for productive work and study. But the people of Mountain View know that homework doesn’t make a living, and now they’ll let you relax with your friends while talking. For this, integrated some services, including Spotify and YouTube.

As they comment on their official blog, this is an update with many improvements, including an offer similar to Apple’s SharePlayA feature that allows you to share audio or video with participants in a FaceTime video call.

Luckily for Google, the Cupertino alternative isn’t compatible with Spotify or YouTube. Thus, if you want to share with the participants in the conversation the video that you are watching at a certain moment, or the songs that you are listening to, you can do it with the click of a button. Also, unlike Apple, compatibility between devices will be much higher.

These live activity sharing features are not just limited to content consumption. From Google Meet you can also play different games with your friends. Among the announced you can find famous Watch out!, One Mobile or Kahut!another classic.

So, whether you’re watching YouTube videos, creating a playlist on Spotify, or taking turns playing games like Heads Up!, Uno Mobile or Kahoot! During the meeting of the icebreakers, everyone can take part in the action.
