After unveiling the Windows 10 20H2 version to all users this week, Microsoft has now introduced a fresh cumulative update for the latest OS version in the Release Preview Channel. Build 19042.608 is now in the hands of Insider users, bringing a series of bug fixes and enhancements, along with a new feature. The company is integrating the Meet Now feature into the taskbar, as promised earlier this week for Windows 10 versions 1903 and 1909.
Windows 10 Build 19042.608 has been released with the Meet Now feature on the taskbar.
The company also emphasizes in its Blog post that the 20H2 build will similarly be released for users in the Beta Channel. It won't be long before the Meet Now feature is integrated into the production version and the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, as versions 2004 and 20H2 are technically identical and receive the same cumulative updates.

The update includes some noteworthy bug fixes and improvements:
- Meet Now, previously introduced in Skype, now makes connecting with anyone just a two-click affair, and each call can last up to 24 hours. This capability has been enhanced in Windows 10 by placing Meet Now directly in the taskbar. In the coming weeks, you'll easily set up video calls and get in touch with friends and family instantly by clicking on the Meet Now icon in the notification area on the taskbar. No need to register or download.
