We are excited to introduce Room Display mode, a new dual-window experience for Google Meet on the web. Launching in beta, this feature is designed specifically for “Bring Your Own Device”  meeting spaces, where users connect a personal laptop to a shared external display, such as a TV or projector.Joining in Room Display modeHistorically, setting up a meeting on a shared display (e.g. in a meeting room) meant manually dragging browser windows across screens, dealing with clunky display layouts, and risking showing your browsing windows. Room Display mode removes this complexity by automatically splitting your meeting interface into two dedicated views the moment you connect your device and join the call:Shared View (TV/Monitor): A clean, distraction-free, entire-screen view on your external display. It displays remote participant video tiles and shared presentations edge-to-edge. You can choose to go full screen by clicking the full-screen window button.Shared View (TV) in Room Display mode with and without and active presentationPersonal View (Laptop Controller): Your laptop screen becomes a private personal view and “control center” for the meeting. In addition to your personal view of the active presentation, it houses the meeting controls, peripherals selection, presentation controls, the participant roster, chat panels, and your “Ask Gemini” panel. This ensures you can manage the meeting privately without displaying your browser window or personal workspace to the entire room.Personal View (Laptop) in Room Display mode with an active presentation with speaker notes and with the Ask Gemini side panel openWhether you’re hosting a team sync, leading a pitch, or watching a presentation, Room Display mode makes running meetings on a shared display and collaborating in hybrid environments more seamless and professional.Note: This requires a Chromium-based browser (such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge) with Window Management permissions enabled.Getting startedAdmins: There is no admin control for this feature.End users: This feature will be available by default when a laptop running a Chromium-based browser is connected to an external display (set to Extended mode, not mirrored). Room Display mode will be highlighted as the main option to join the call when the laptop detects  a shared external display like a meeting room TV. To help us improve the feature, provide feedback via the thumbs up/down icons and the feedback link in the Personal View UI.
