Google has announced a useful new feature that will make it easier to “identify and correct audio disturbances in Meet video calls.” In fact, the Google application will now alert users to the presence of a noticeable echo that could be heard by other participants in the call.
After clicking on the notification, you will be directed to the Google Meet help center, with suggestions for solving the problem. Google says the Echo Alerts will be available to all Workspace customers, along with G Suite Basic and Business customers. While the feature has already started, it may take around 15 days to get anywhere.
The new feature comes days after Google Meet rolled out the ability to add up to 25 co-hosts per meeting. It also introduced new controls for meeting hosts, such as restricting who can share their screen, end a meeting for everyone, and restricting who can send chat messages.
