The Google Meet will soon let you know if it thinks you're echoing calls, Google announced in a blog post on Monday. Right now, it's hard to tell if it's resonating with the participants on a call unless someone interrupts the meeting to say so. Google's new proactive warnings are here to help.
Google says Meet already controls audio and will stop the echo. But it cannot take into account all of them settings speakers and microphone which result in the sound being restored to the call. The new echo warning will appear as a red dot on the interface of Meet but also as a text notification. Clicking on the notification will take you through steps needed to fix the echo, including muting your microphone, turning down the speaker volume, or switching to headphones.
Google reports that new echo alerts are already appearing on Google Workspace and G Suite Basic and Business customers. The mood for everyone will need up to 15 days to complete. Alerts are enabled by default and do not require any intervention from you.
