Google Meet Will Remove You From Empty Calls.
Google Meet is getting a makeover to make virtual meetings more efficient. For example, when you are the only user remaining in a meeting, the video-calling platform will enable you to quit.
For example, when you’re the only one in a meeting for five minutes, you’ll get a prompt asking if you want to stay or depart. If you do not react within two minutes, Google will immediately terminate the meeting.
Google is also centralizing host administration options in the Meet to simplify toggling between menus.
They’ve all been condensed into one place under the Host controls menu. The controls have already been discovered in several locations.
In a blog post published on Thursday, Google introduced the new Google Meet features.
