Users who are unable to switch off their microphones during a meeting will find a new feature in Google Meet to be fascinating. During a lesson or a meeting, you may have come across persons who are unable to switch off their microphones or who have forgotten to do so for whatever reason.
People frequently begin talks without turning off the microphone, and when the microphone is switched off, the background noise can occasionally disturb the entire conference, resulting in a stalemate.
Google, on the other hand, now has a remedy for participants who are troublesome. In Google Meet, the host now has the ability to silence all of the participants at the same time if necessary.
It is being tested in Google Meet, and the functionality will allow the meeting host to silence all attendees at the same time. The Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals and Education Plus domains are now able to take use of the new functionality. In the following months, the feature will be made available to users of other Google Workspace versions.
The functionality will offer the host greater control over the event by assisting them in preventing or stopping disturbances caused by unmuted users.
“The silence all function is only available to the meeting host and cannot be used by any other participants.” The meeting host will not be able to unmute any attendees after they have been muted. Users will be able to unmute themselves at any time if they so want.
Google said in a blog post that the silence all function would initially be accessible only for hosts who are connecting via a desktop browser, but that it will be made available on other platforms in the coming months.
It is possible for users to silence someone by simply pointing to his or her image and selecting the Mute option.
Meeting hosts will be able to use the functionality by default, as will attendees. Users of Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus, as well as customers of G Suite Basic, Business, and Nonprofits, will not be able to take advantage of the functionality until later this year.
Google Meet just introduced a new tool that converts live speech into subtitles that may be read aloud in a different language.
The live captioning option is particularly beneficial for users with impairments, as well as for those who wish to keep track of what is being said in a virtual meeting word for word, as it allows them to do so. It is possible to have English meetings that are translated into Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German using this function, as well.
