Google Meet Companion Mode Game Changer to Check In so Everyone Knows Your Name

Tech For Work by TABGEEKS (formerly Workspace Recap)

Google Meet Companion Mode upgrades is a game changer. I have been on so many meetings with new people and it is so hard to keep track of who's whom. Great episode for you all this week, enjoy!

Big thank you to our friends at Jamf who help us bring you these updates every week. For anyone supporting Apple devices alongside Google Workspace, Jamf is a must because they can essentially help you manage or secure Apple devices so they perfectly integrate into your IT Google ecosystem. Google and Jamf integrations let you manage Chrome for safe browsing, achieve zero-trust using Google Identity and cover about every other aspect of using Google on an Apple device. It’s really sleek. They also tailor device management and endpoint security to different organization sizes and industries with special workflows and solutions so really everyone can benefit. I’d be surprised if you haven’t heard of them already, but if that is the case definitely check them out at Jamf.com/workspacerecap
