Google has an answer to keeping your work and school life at home on time amid COVID-19 pandemic: Family Bell

There are many things about doing school at home that aren't much like being at school. No lines of cars with kids dragging oversized backpacks, no recess games and no bells to alert students when to get to class. For people who like visual and audio cues for when to get kids in front of their computers for class, like those iconic school bells,, Google introduces the new "Family Bell," feature today. It's part of the Google Assistant, whether on phones and tablets with an app or the connected speakers and display units. Family Bell is a reminder that can set to announce when it's time for the class, "take a break, settle in for reading time, have a snack or even for bedtime," notes Lilian Rincon, Senior Director of Product Management for the Google Assistant.
