After rolling out to desktops in June, Google Meet can now filter out disturbing sounds, thanks to noise cancellation on Android and iOS. The video conferencing service is also adding attendance reports for schools and educators.
Joining the background blur, Google Meet can filter out background noise to make calls possible from any environment. This includes “typing, opening and closing doors, and building outside the window.” Google’s “cloud-based AI” works to isolate anything other than your voice.
To enable it, tap the additional “More” menu, select “Settings” and click “Noise Cancellation”. It’s off by default and Google recommends disabling it if “no voice is an important part of your call, like playing musical instruments.”
Noise cancellation on Google Meet is available for G Suite Enterprise and G Suite Enterprise for Education customers, but not for G Suite Basic, G Suite Business, G Suite for Education, or G Suite for Nonprofits. There are also regional restrictions in “South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and surrounding regions”.
This feature is rolling out today and will be fully available in the next few days.
Meanwhile, G Suite Enterprise for Education organizers can now get an attendance report when a meeting ends. Sent by email, it is available for Google Meet conversations with between five and 250 participants. It contains your name, email (or hidden phone number), check-in / check-out time and duration.
We hope the attendance reports help meeting organizers keep track of who attended their meetings and for how long, which can be challenging during larger meetings or during presentation.
It will be available to more users over time.
