Google Meet stabilizes its AI features with consent controls, customization, and mobile parity.

◆Current state
Google Meet is in cleanup mode for the AI features it shipped earlier in the year. Admins can now require explicit participant consent before Take Notes with Gemini, recordings, or transcripts begin (off by default, configurable per OU). Take Notes for Me gained customization options and a refined Decisions section, video quality improved on high-resolution displays, and speech translation extended from web to Android and iOS. ChromeOS rooms picked up additional certified BYOD switchers.
◆Where it's heading
Two arcs: Meet's AI features are gaining the governance and customization knobs that enterprise customers ask for after launch — explicit consent, granular admin controls, mobile parity. And the underlying call-quality work continues with sharper video and stereo audio support. The product is consolidating, not expanding capability surface.
◆Prediction
Expect more per-meeting consent and audit primitives as regulated industries push back on AI features that record by default. Speech translation will likely add more language pairs and integrate tighter with the Take Notes/transcript layer, since that closes the obvious gap of multilingual meetings producing single-language artifacts.

    Require explicit consent for Take Notes with Gemini, recordings, and transcripts in Google Meet

    Admins can now require explicit participant consent before Take Notes with Gemini, recordings, or transcripts begin in a meeting, configurable at domain, OU, or group level. Off by default, but a meaningful tool for regulated organizations that need affirmative agreement before AI features process the call.
