Latest feature “Co-present” improves users’ experience, you can assign colleagues to control Slides while presenting in Meet.
Google has continually developed many functions and features for presentation on Google Slide in Meet, for example viewing speaker notes while presenting. It enhances presenters’ focus with better confidence in meetings as they can see slides’ content and audience within the same place. Recently, they enabled the latest ability for users to co-present slides in a meeting on Google Meet.
This new feature allows multiple people to present together in Meet. The primary presenter can allocate a participant to be the co-presenter, who can present the slides alongside with the primary presenter. The assigned user can see the audience, presentation, and Slides controls in one window. Moreover, the user has the ability to navigate the presentation, start and stop media within the presentation as well.

You can start using the feature “Co-present” easily. After opening a Google Slides in Meet, just click the icon “People”, select the user, then click “Add as co-presenter”. The participant who is selected will be notified accordingly. Besides, he/she can get control over the Slides presentation, allowing them to navigate the screen for all participants in the meeting.
Co-present can minimize the gap between people working from different locations. In hybrid work, people are able to collaborate effectively, even though they aren’t at the same places. It’s unnecessary to ask a colleague to change to the next slide in a presentation. That can avoid any confusion or anxiety which might affect their memory or focus. So that they can control the situation well, resulting in an effective presentation.
