American tech company Google has finally realized that it’s high time to make meetings more convenient by updating its video-communication service app that will now warn users with an alert message if it thinks they are creating an echo.
The company announced the news in a blog post on Monday that the Google Meet app will soon tell the users about echo in calls.
For the unversed, currently the users of Meet stay unaware if they are creating an irritating echo for the meeting unless other participants interrupt to inform them. Now, presumably with this update, the meetings can be easier.
As per ANI, Google said that Meet already controls audio for echo removal. But it can’t account for all remote desktop speaker and microphone configurations that result in audio being fed back into the call.
The new echo warning update will appear as both a red dot on the Meet interface as well as a notification and a text alert.
The users can click the notification to get the steps of fixing the echo, which include muting the microphone, lowering the speaker volume, or switching to headphones.
The warnings will be enabled by default and won’t require any admin intervention to enable.
Google said that the new echo warning is rolling out now to Google Workspace and G Suite Basic and Business customers. The rollout will take nearly 15 days to complete.
