Google is finally making that experience much easier by bringing proper Google Meet integration to Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-1dbf3c64-d4b5-4fd5-9354-a3a13cc16d0d-2\">The company first previewed Google Meet support for Android Auto earlier this year, but it now appears to be rolling out much more widely. According to a report from 9to5Google, users are starting to see notifications for upcoming meetings and can now join conference calls directly through their vehicle&#8217;s Android Auto interface.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There is one thing worth noting, though. The first time you use Google Meet on Android Auto, you may need to restart the Google Meet app on your phone before everything works properly. Thankfully, this appears to be a one-time setup step, and future meetings should work normally afterward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.27%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Google Meet homepage on Android TV\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/m9QXb2msRvwobrjVmahtPD.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Jay Bonggolto \/ Android Central)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-0d4190e4-e11f-4ca9-8690-e21cb6acc609\">Inside the Android Auto version of Google Meet, you&#8217;ll find tabs for Scheduled calls and History, making it easier to rejoin meetings or access previous calls.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is still an audio-only experience.
