24 Aug An Update to Google Meet Call Quality
One of the most annoying things to start any video call is the process of resolving sound quality issues like a persistent echo. Google recently announced an update to Google Meet to address that problem.
Google Meet will now notify you when your audio is causing an echo for others. In other words, even though you may not hear an echo others in the call may hear an echo generated by your computer. When that happens Google Meet will now display a notification on your screen. Clicking on that notification will take you to the Google Meet help center where you’ll see recommended steps to resolve the echo problem (spoiler alert: it’s usually due to having a microphone too close to audio output).
Applications for Education
Students have enough trouble focusing on your online instruction without having to fight through the distraction of poor audio quality. If you’re using Google Meet for classes this year, this new echo notification in Google Meet could help improve the meeting quality for your students and help them focus on your instruction.
