Google Meet ‘Switch here’ feature will allow you to do a number of things that were not possible till now.

Google Meet ‘Switch here’ feature is being rolled out and it will make the app even more useful especially during ongoing meetings. Notably, in the modern, post-pandemic, world, we can do our work from lots of places using different gadgets. Now, the latest Google Meet update reveals that you can even move between devices during a Google Meet call. That means no need to hang up and login from another device. For instance, if you're on a GMeet call using your phone or tablet, you can switch to your laptop when you get to your desk. When you join the meeting on your laptop, you'll see a new option called "Switch here." This lets you switch the call from your mobile device while keeping the conversation going, so you don't miss anything important. An example can be someone who joins a meeting while commuting. The person can easily switch to his laptop when he reaches the office. And most importantly, this will ensure your boss does not think you are not focusing on the job at hand.

Google Meet ‘Switch here’ feature has added yet another benefit for users facing different, or changing, situations.
