Experience High-Definition Video Conferencing with Google Meet

Google Meet, a video messaging service developed by Google, has released the ability to stream group video calls with at least three participants in Full HD. The feature is currently available to Workspace subscribers.

According to the company, this higher resolution is available online when using computers with a 1080p camera. 1080p resolution is off by default – users with a 1080p camera are encouraged to enable a higher resolution before joining a meeting, or can be enabled or disabled in the settings menu.

“Earlier this year, we launched 1080p video resolution for 1:1 Google Meet calls. Today, we’re expanding 1080p to meetings with three or more participants,” Google said in a blog post.

To use the new feature, participants with Full HD must enable it by accepting the prompt that automatically appears on the join screen. Once enabled, a 1080p icon will appear in the upper right corner of the video screen to confirm that it is on. Users in the meeting can view high-quality video if the user in use is pinned or if the viewer has a screen large enough to view the higher-resolution video.

“1080p is transmitted only when one or more users attach a 1080p-capable user monitor that is large enough to display the 1080p video feed. In these specific scenarios, additional bandwidth is required to transmit 1080p video – Meet will automatically adjust the resolution if the device’s bandwidth is limited,” the company said .

The US tech giant also said that the ability to view video meetings in Full HD will be available to Google Workspace customers with Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, Teaching and Learning Upgrade. , and Workspace Individual subscribers. However, it is not available for Google One subscribers
