2020 may go down as the year of the video call. It’s become an indispensable tool， one we all use more than we likely would have imagined. But meeting fatigue is probably hitting you hard in the afternoon. Using the right devices can make a big difference in making video calls more enjoyable and engaging. Here are a few new ways to use Google Meet and Duo across a series of new devices to create a better meeting experience.
Take your video calls to the big screen
With Google Meet on Cast， you can turn any room in your house into your own personal conference room， taking advantage of your TV or a Smart Display. Whether you want to step away from the notifications on your laptop or phone to be more present in a meeting or you’re on mute in a larger meeting and want to concentrate on your task at hand， casting to your TV can help you be more productive and stay focused.
Meet and Cast can also pair up to simplify distance learning. Students can view their classmates and lesson plans on the big screen while working from their laptops， and teachers can get a broader view of their students on a call.
To get started， you『ll need to have a Google account， update to the latest version of Chrome and ensure that your Chromecast device has the latest firmware installed. Google Cast functionality is available for all Meet users， and casting works on Chromecast， TVs with built-in Chromecasts and Nest displays.
The big screen isn’t just for work meetings， though: We also want to make video calling your friends and family better， too. In an effort to bring the video calling experience to more parts of your home， Google Duo is rolling out a Beta on Android TV in the coming weeks. With Google Duo， you can initiate one-on-one and group calls from your TV， and if your TV doesn't have a camera built-in， you can simply plug in a USB camera.
Beyond TVs， Duo and Meet also work seamlessly with Nest Hub Max. You can simply say 「Hey Google， join my next meeting」 or 「Hey Google， start a group call」 and jump right into the video hands free， staying productive from a separate device on your desk.
Build the ultimate home office
With the Acer Chromebase and ASUS Remote Meet Kit from Google Meet hardware， you can elevate your work-from-home space into a dedicated home office. Google Meet hardware syncs automatically with Google Calendar so you can join meetings with a single touch， and is built on Chrome OS which brings over-the-air updates， peripheral support and advanced management capabilities. This frees up your laptop for more immersive meetings.
Video calls aren’t going anywhere. But with new developments from Meet + Cast， Duo， Android TV， Nest Hub Max and Google Meet hardware， they can be a little more enjoyable.
2020年可能會成為視頻通話年。它已經成為一個不可或缺的工具，一個我們使用的比我們想像中更多的工具。但是下午遇到疲勞可能會給你帶來沉重的打擊。使用正確的設備可以使視頻通話變得更加有趣和吸引人。這裡有一些新的方法可以在一系列新設備上使用googlemeet和Duo來創建更好的會議體驗。
把你的視頻通話放到大屏幕上
使用Google Meet on Cast，您可以利用您的電視或智能顯示屏，將您家中的任何房間變成您自己的個人會議室。無論你是想遠離筆記本電腦或手機上的通知，在會議上更積極地出席會議，還是在更大的會議中保持沉默，集中精力完成手頭的任務，在電視上播放可以幫助你提高工作效率，保持專注。
Meet和Cast還可以配對以簡化遠程學習。學生在筆記本電腦上工作時，可以在大屏幕上查看同學和教案，老師可以在電話中更廣泛地了解學生。
要開始，你需要有一個谷歌帳戶，更新到最新版本的Chrome，並確保你的Chromecast設備安裝了最新的固件。googlecast功能對所有Meet用戶都是可用的，並且在Chromecast、帶有內置Chromecast和Nest顯示器的電視上進行Cast工作。
不過，大屏幕不僅僅是用於工作會議：我們也希望能更好地通過視頻與朋友和家人通話。為了將視頻通話體驗帶到你家的更多地方，谷歌二人組（googleduo）將在未來幾周在Android電視上推出測試版。使用Google Duo，你可以從你的電視發起一對一和群組通話，如果你的電視沒有內置攝像頭，你只需插入一個USB攝像頭。
除了電視之外，Duo and Meet還可以與Nest Hub Max無縫協作。你只需說「嘿谷歌，加入我的下一個會議」或「嘿谷歌，開始一個群組通話」，然後直接進入視頻，在你桌子上的一個單獨設備上保持高效。
打造終極家庭辦公室
藉助谷歌Meet硬體公司的Acer Chromebase和華碩遠程會議套件，您可以將您的工作從家庭空間提升到專用的家庭辦公室。Google Meet硬體與Google日曆自動同步，因此您只需輕觸一下就可以加入會議，它是基於Chrome作業系統構建的，它提供了無線更新、外圍設備支持和高級管理功能。這就為您的筆記本電腦騰出了更多身臨其境的會議空間。
視頻電話哪兒也去不了。但隨著Meet+Cast、Duo、Android電視、Nest Hub Max和Google Meet硬體的新發展，它們可能會更令人愉快。
