Chromebooks will now include Google Meet app by default, new emoji picker added in latest update

Thanks to the novel coronavirus pandemic, people have begun to rely on video meeting apps like Google Meet, Zoom, MS Teams, Cisco and others, more than ever and even though most offices are looking to call their employees back to the office, the trend is unlikely to reverse in a hurry. These apps have seen a massive jump in users since the pandemic forced everyone indoors. Over a year later, companies are working on adding these video features to their major software offerings – Apple is improving FaceTime later this year, Microsoft is integrating Teams right in the Windows 11 taskbar, and now Google is has announced that Google Meet will be preinstalled on all Chromebooks and there will be no need to download it separately.
