It can be difficult for a single host to manage large unruly video meetings, particularly given the complexity and features available in videoconferencing applications nowadays. Now Google has a solution for its meeting application with a new feature that allows you to have up to 25 co-hosts in a meeting, because 9to5google reported. In this way, they can divide the chore as participants in the implementation, launch surveys, handle q & as and more, while you focus on the business by hand.
So far, the functionality was available only for Google Workspace for education customers. Now it’s all Google’s applications through the desktop and mobile, including users with personal Google accounts.
In addition, Google has introduced new controls for meeting hosts, which can be extended to co-hosts. All hosts will be able to limit that can share their screen, limit that can send chat messages, all in one click, end the meeting for everything and control that can join the meeting and how to join the setting ” Quick access” . The latter allows participants of the same domain to enter automatically.
“Quick Access” allows an automatic input of video calls for users in the same domain. If deactivated, hosts must first join, and those who are not invited will have to ask for permission to enter. Otherwise, the host must participate first and give permission to anyone who is not invited.
The last feature, the “People” panel, adds hosts to quickly find participants if moderation actions are needed. The new features will start moving next week on the web and meet Android and the iOS version will arrive at the end of the month.
