- Google facilitates membership of meeting calls in companion mode
- Laptops listen to the equipment via ultrasound signals
- This only works with Chrome and the material supported
One of the biggest points of pain for Google Meet users to join videoconference calls could soon be resolved after the company by adding a new companion fashion feature to automatically allow users to join a call.
In a blog article, the company has unveiled its new automatic access feature, which uses ultrasound proximity detection to rationalize the Membership Membership process in Companion mode.
Users’ laptops will operate the integrated microphone to detect an ultrasound signal from Google Meet equipment, which facilitates participation in multi-person calls-and, hope, put an end to boring or discordant echoes for good.
Google Meet becomes even easier in companion mode
“To simplify membership meetings to a conference room and avoid disturbing audio comments, Google Meet now guides you intelligently to the best accession option,” noted Google.
When a laptop detects the equipment near Google Meet, he will put in evidence “Join Now” to “use the companion mode”, which allows them to join a call without audio or video duplication in a shared room.
Already a useful feature, the Companion mode deactivates the micro and the default camera to avoid audio comments or the echo, allowing users to display the presentations, to use the cat in a meeting, to participate in the surveys, to share their screen and to use legends.
“This orientation feature helps to ensure a seamless start and without echo at your meeting,” added Google.
The recording of the proximity -based room replaces the manual recording prompt displayed after clicking on “Use companion mode”.
The tool will be available for all Google Workspace customers with Google Meet Hardware, but could take up to 15 days from August 4 to present themselves to all users. For the moment, the functionality is only supported on Google Meet Web via Chrome, as well as the Google Meet certified devices.
