Google has begun rolling out Google Meet to all Android Auto users. Users may see a notification about the app’s availability the next time they start their car.
The rollout follows a phased introduction and marks the completion of Meet’s integration into the Android Auto platform.
The Android Auto version of Google Meet is limited to voice-only participation and does not support video calls in any state, including when the vehicle is parked.
What Android Auto Users Can Do With Google Meet
The Android Auto version of Google Meet allows drivers to:
- Join scheduled Google Meet calls hands-free
- Participate in meetings using voice
- Manage basic in-call controls through the Android Auto interface
Video mode is not available in the Android Auto version of Google Meet, regardless of whether the vehicle is in motion or parked.
Users who need to see participant video feeds must switch to a phone or other device manually. Google has not indicated whether parked-mode video support is planned for a future update.
The limitation means users who pull over mid-meeting cannot seamlessly transition to a full video experience from within Android Auto. Switching to the standard Google Meet app on a connected phone is the workaround for video access.
How Google Meet on Android Auto Fits Into the 2026 Update
The Google Meet addition follows the broader Android Auto major update announced at Google I/O 2026, which introduced edge-to-edge Google Maps, native Gemini integration, home screen widgets, and Full HD video streaming for parked vehicles.
Video playback was already restricted to parked vehicles in that update, making the absence of parked-mode video in Google Meet a notable gap by comparison.
Google has not announced a timeline for expanding the Meet feature set on Android Auto or adding video functionality for stationary use.
