- Google makes it easier to join the meeting calls in complementary mode
- Laptops listen to hardware through ultrasound signals
- It only works with chrome and compatible hardware
One of the most important weak points for Google Meeting users that bind to videoconference calls could soon be resolved after the company adding a new function complementary to automatically allow users to join a call.
In a blog post, the company announced its new automatic check-in function, which uses ultrasound proximity detection to optimize the process of joint binding in accompanying mode.
User portable computers will take advantage of the built -in microphone to detect a Google Meet hardware, which makes it even easier to join calls from several people, and hopefully put an end to annoying or discordant echoes forever.
Google Meet becomes even easier in accompanying mode
“To simplify together with the meetings of a conference room and avoid disruptive audio comments, Google Meet now guides it intelligently at the best union option,” Google said.
When a laptop detects the close hardware of Google Meet, it will change to highlight ‘unite’ to ‘use the complementary mode’, which allows them to join a call without duplication audio or video in a shared room.
It is already a useful characteristic, the complementary mode disables the microphone and the camera by default to avoid comments or audio echo, which allows users to see presentations, use the chat at the meeting, participate in surveys, share its screen and use subtitles.
“This road guidance feature helps to guarantee a perfect and echoing beginning of its meeting,” Google added.
The room registration based on proximity replaces the manual verification indicator shown after clicking on ‘Use Companion mode’.
The tool will be available for all Google Workspace customers with Google Meet Hardware, but could take up to 15 days from August 4 to introduce all users. For now, the function is only compatible with Google Meet Web through Chrome, along with the certified Google Meet peripherals.
