Google TV Will Show Incoming Calls from Compatible Apps

Need a distraction from your favorite show or movie?

Google TV will soon notify you of incoming calls from select apps, such as Google Meet.

Call notifications for Google TV were first discovered byMishaal Rahmanlast year.

The feature’s been in development for some time, and it can now be enabled through Google Meet.

For those wondering, Google TVdoessupport USB webcams.

But very few people actually use their smart TV for video calls.

Even without a webcam-equipped TV, the call notifications feature may be useful to you.

Let’s say that you’re expecting a Google Meet call from a family member.

Presumably, Google TV call notifications won’t be exclusive to Google Meet.

Other apps, such as Zoom, should pick up on this feature.

The call notification is currently rolling out to streaming sticks and smart TVs.

But even if you fire up the feature in Google Meet, it doesn’t work yet.

We assume that Google will make an announcement when the feature goes live.
