Tech giant Google is reportedly working on a new mode for the video communication service 'Meet', which will help users to seamlessly join a meeting when it is being conducted, while they are not situated at the desk, and are rather on-the-go. The mode called 'On-the-Go' will make it safer and easier for users to stay in a video call while walking.
The company is working on two ways to access the 'On-the-Go' mode once it is released, reports 9To5Google.

Or, users could manually switch to the feature with a new option in the in-call menu.
