Google has started rolling out Google Meet to all Android Auto users. Users may see a notification about the availability of the app 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 participation only and does not support video calls in any situation, 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 a hands-free scheduled Google Meet call
- 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 view the participant video feed will need to manually switch to a phone or other device. Google has not indicated whether park-mode video support is planned for a future update.
The limitation means that users who pause in the middle of a meeting can’t seamlessly transition to the full video experience from within Android Auto. Switching to the standard Google Meet app on the connected phone is the solution for video access.
How Google Meet fits into the 2026 update on Android Auto
The addition of Google Meet 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 in that update was already limited to parked vehicles, making the absence of park-mode video in Google Meet a notable difference by comparison.
Google hasn’t announced any timeline for expanding the Meet feature set on Android Auto or adding video functionality for stationary use.
