Why is the Present Directly to Google Meet Feature Useful?

Many of us use Google Meet all day long and this feature will help streamline sharing documents and presentations in meetings.

In a school, this will allow educators to cleanly share documents, presentations, and spreadsheets with students without the added distraction of colorful desktop backgrounds, bookmarks and tabs.

For those of us who have previously used a separate computer to share presentations cleanly without background distractions, the Present from Docs, Sheets, and Slides feature coupled with the updated Google Meet interface is a timesaver.
