Google has added support for Meet in Apple CarPlay before Android Auto.

The CarPlay update was confirmed by Google in a Workspace blog post. The feature works for all Workspace and individual customers, but it comes with a few limitations.

For safety reasons, Meet calls on CarPlay are audio-only. Additionally, users can only join scheduled meetings from their dashboard; they can’t create new ones. The homepage will list all upcoming meetings, but if you’re the host, you won’t be able to accept or reject participants from the car’s display.

When you join a call, video mode will be disabled by default. You can listen and respond to the meeting as usual, with controls to mute or unmute yourself and leave the meeting. If you join a large meeting, your mic may be muted by default, Google says in a support page.

Another major limitation is that you won’t be able to see a presentation on the car display. Related features like Hand Raise, Q&A, and Polls are also disabled.

If you really need to be on video for a meeting (or use Chat or Polls), Google suggests you pull over and log in from the Google Meet app on your phone. You’ll then join the meeting on both your iPhone and car display, Google says.

To use Google Meet on Apple CarPlay, download the latest version of the app from the App Store and grant the app the necessary permissions. I could see a banner for CarPlay support on the mobile app today, and also confirm the rollout of the feature on my car’s dashboard.

Google began rolling out the feature on Thursday and said it may take up to 15 days to show up. Support for Android Auto will arrive soon, the company added.
