I recently discovered that Google Meet allows you to sync-play YouTube videos with anyone on Android as long as the one who starts the sharing session has YouTube Premium. That got me thinking though… Just how much effort has Google put into features that I don’t think anybody knows about?
It’s funny to think that Google Hangouts had this feature a while back. It’s more than just putting effort into features; it’s also implementing similar features into multiple apps at different points in time.
Yeah, it’s super weird. And it’s not even like they’re reusing code or anything. The Hangouts version was basically embedded YouTube like we see in Discord but the current Meets implementation is within the YouTube app, which is really neat but again, why don’t more people know about it?
