In a recent update, Google has fixed the problem of Google Meet hosts to control unruly participants in a meeting. Notably, Google Meet is getting the ability to set up to 25 co-hosts for a single meeting.
Large scale meeting has now become the new normal. Most employees are working from home and meetings have also gone virtual. Thanks to platforms such as Google Meet have a virtual meeting has never been easier.
Google Meet is used by professionals in business, academic, or entertainment, etc to connect with their niche. However, due to some unruly participants, the whole meeting gets disturbed.
Thankfully, with the new update, Google Meet hosts can add up to 25 co-hosts to help them manage the meeting and conduct it without any nuisance.
But that’s not it. Google is also adding a few other features to its Google Meet platform. Users can now assign admin controls to a single or all the co-hosts of the meeting.
All these features tend to make handling large easier. Hosts will have extra hands to help them settle the meeting if a few participants become unruly.
Google Meet new admin functions are available on both desktop and mobile app
Additional features (via PhoneArena) include the ability to limit the functionalities such as screen sharing or send chat messages to a few or single participants.
Moreover, in Workspace editions, users will be able to control who can join a meeting and who cannot. This can be easily done by navigating to the Quick Access settings menu. Note that this feature won’t be available for everyone.
Co-hosts also get some abilities, where they can mute all participants with a single click. They can also end meetings for everyone, whenever they wish.
As always, the update will be pushed gradually. Google Meet users will get to use these features starting August 16. According to the official blog, it would take approximately 15 days for the new features to become visible for all users on Android, iOS, and desktop.
The feature to add co-hosts won’t be available for every edition of Google Meet. Only Google Workspace Essentials, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Business Standard, Business Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Standard, Education Plus, Teaching, and Learning Upgrade editions can enjoy these co-hosting abilities.
Apparently, the Google Workspace Business Starter, Frontline, and Nonprofits, G Suite Basic, and Business customers won’t get to enjoy the new co-hosting update. However, they can enjoy the other features of the update.
