Adapting to distance-learning challenges
In Chrome OS, Google has improved the video streams of Meet. The improvements will help the educators and students to choose a feature like grid view – where both of them can see images of other Meet attendees without affecting the performance of other running apps.
Better camera performance
Google has also improved Chromebooks’ camera and video feed performance and efficiency by making sure that audio and video data don’t require any unnecessary processing.
Meet now adjusts dynamically
Google Meet’s video resolution or frame rate may be decreased slightly so that video performance doesn’t suffer. The meet will now also adapt to the speed of your network by temporarily turning off some video feeds.
Features built with education in mind
Google built features like hand-raising, digital whiteboards, polls, Q&A and breakout rooms in Meet to continue to use many of their in-person teaching methods in the virtual smart classroom.
