When issuing a response, the arc curves downward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Old<\/p>\n<p>Search Live is now introducing a perimeter glow that\u2019s blue as you ask a question. It then changes to a gradient waveform at the bottom when Google is responding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>The new design allows the video feed to take up your entire screen instead of just the top half. This gradient is really quite vibrant and somewhat reminiscent of Circle to Search.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Redesign<\/p>\n<p>The Unmute, Video, and Transcript buttons remain at the bottom. Other controls are still at the top-right corner, including the recently introduced \u201cCC\u201d for live captions.
