Wanting to keep your meetings on track in Google Meet will get a whole lot simpler, thanks to Google’s addition of the features to lock audio and video in Google Meet. 

Earlier, the function was only accessible while using Google Meet on a laptop but now hosts as well as co-hosts can lock all attendees’ audio and video from Apple devices. Moreover, as per a recent article on the Google Workspace blog, Google intends to make this feature available for Android phones soon in 2022. 

It will also be easier to keep meetings on track and resourceful if hosts and co-hosts have the ability to silence all attendees’ audio and stop them from using their cameras. 

The latest Audio Lock & Video Lock setting in Google Meet is applicable to all devices, irrespective of whether it is enabled on a laptop or an apple device. 

Whenever this option is selected, smartphone attendees may be excluded from a meeting if their device lacks the latest version of the Meet or Gmail mobile app, Android OS version M or more recent, or iOS version 12 or more recent. However, once the function is deactivated, these eliminated attendees will be able to reenter a meeting. 

However, it is also worth mentioning that this function is accessible to all Google Workspace and G Suite Basic and Business users. 

Since workers, management staff, and associates are effective at maintaining silence in meetings, Audio Lock & Video Lock may be especially helpful for educators trying to conduct online classes using Google Meet. 

Gmail Hosting, also famous as Google Workspace, is a famous Google service. So, start making your email address more private by using your own domain name.
