Google Meet became more used in 2020
With the Covid-19 pandemic, social isolation began as a measure to prevent the disease. With that, most companies transferred the work done in the office to the home office, a model that has become very popular and should persist in the post-pandemic world. Faced with this reality, videoconferencing platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet and Teams have become much more used.
Therefore, these platforms needed to adapt to the new reality in order to meet the exponentially growing demand. With regard to Meet, Google found that from 2020 to mid-2021, the tool's usage time increased by 20 times. Thus, the company began to invest in the videoconferencing platform and was innovating and adapting it to better serve users. In addition, Google underwent a restructuring, increasing the number of employees working on the Meet team.
new platform
With the home office, it was also easier to make excuses for missing or leaving work meetings and classes early, like saying that the internet was down. With that in mind, Google made a new update on Meet, where the person administering Google Workspace can check the internet signal of meeting participants.
Google's goal in doing this is to give more credibility to the platform, given that this will give greater control to meeting administrators. In addition to this, this is not the first information to be made available to administrators, as they have already can see the type of connection, control the microphone and camera of the participants, control the use of CPU, among others things.
