One of the biggest problems with video calls is when someone freezes middle sentence. But Google has a plan to make the interruptions less frequent. Google Measure will receive upgrades to improve video call quality for people with low bandwidth connections.
In the coming months, Google Meet will work better on inconsistent internet connections, as well as receive a range of features to help teachers manage virtual classes.
Google’s announcement is complicated about how Meet upgrades benefit educators facing remote virtual lessons amid the coronavirus pandemic and the locks it has caused, but the new features could also benefit others.
Since not everyone has access to a high speed internet connection, foul-smelling video calls can be commonplace, especially in large meetings. This is something that Tom’s Guide himself has experienced.
Improving the performance of Google Measure on low-bandwidth connections promises to make the use of the video calling service a much smoother experience for people with inconsistent internet connections or perishable Wi-Fi.
Improved support for lower bandwidth connections is not the only new feature that will come to Meet in the coming months.
Improved integration between Meet and Google Classroom, emoji responses that went beyond actually raising your hand, and stronger damping controls are all coming to Meet in the not-too-distant future. While these upgrades will help with virtual classes, they can also benefit other Meet meetings, helping to keep people who are tired of video calls more involved.
