Google Introduces Viewer Mode For Google Meet in Latest Update
Google, the tech giant, is introducing a fresh viewer mode in its video communication platform ‘Meet’. This feature will enable users to choose “Everyone is a viewer” while generating their Calendar invitation.
The tech giant said in a blog post Friday about workspace updates that viewers will meet attendees who can’t share audio or video in a meeting.
When using Google Meet for large meetings, designating participants as “viewers” helps reduce potential meeting distractions, such as audio glitches.
In addition, this keeps the participants focused on the speaker and the content of the meeting. “When it’s time for a larger group to share, hosts can turn viewers into participants,” the company said.
“Viewers can access Meet features such as Q&A and polls. Viewers cannot use in-meet chat or emoji reactions – viewer support for these features will be available in the future.”
Meanwhile, in April this year, the tech giant introduced a 1080p video calling option for users of the video calling service to improve the user experience.
