As we know that Google is always in front when it comes to technology. Google plans to upgrade its video app previously known as google hangout meet.. The new features to be introduced will make it more competitive to other video apps like zoom.
GoogleMeet now offers a tiled layout for accommodating more recipients which is the first major change. It is capable of showing up to 16 users in a single gallery view which is a huge upgrade over the previous limit of only four users. The new layout is similar to what Zoom provides on its offering although it is capable of showing up to 49 users. But Google has assured that more changes will be introduced to the layout with a focus on better presentation and supporting more recipients.

The update adds the ability to share a Chrome tab with the recipients. It eliminates the need for sharing just the window or the entire screen with others on the call. There is also a new low-light mode to help you out when the light around you is not sufficient. It will make use of AI capabilities to make necessary tweaks so that you are visible to others. The mode is currently limited to mobile users but will arrive on the web in the near future.
The new googlemeet app will have noise cancellation which allows uses to have effective meetings or chat. Google says it will “intelligently filter out background distractions” so that the user is audible. The full features are not fully out yet, but it is believed to be rolled out in the coming weeks.
