[Software] Google smart screens are updated with a new interface and improvements for video calls

[Dark]

Google Smart Displays have been updated with new Assistant features and a new visual appearance that allows users to better manage notifications and reminders based on time of day and video calls through Meet.

   The company has updated the interface of its smart screens with the arrival of dark mode, which reduces light emissions, and new sections that allow managing elements of notifications or meetings at different times of the day.

   In this sense, the company has introduced specific pages for the morning, afternoon and evening, which will show reminders, news and other content -the weather or relaxing sounds- appropriate for the different hours. Also, a 'Sunrise' alarm will be introduced "soon", which will gradually increase the brightness of the screen to simulate sunrise.

   The 'Media' page, for its part, will offer content suggestions for the whole family -both Google services and third parties-, and the new 'Home' section will allow you to control all the connected devices in the house.

   Regarding communication, the company has announced the integration with the Zoom application, which will be available by the end of the year for devices with the Google Assistant together with Duo and Meet, already available. In the case of the latter service, the company has introduced new features for Nest Hub Max, such as the ability to modify scheduled calls or send messages to postpone meetings.
