New Google Meet Update Improves Companion Mode For Greater Transparency

In 2021, Google introduced “Companion Mode” in Google Meet, which gives users access to interactive features and controls that connect people in conference rooms with remote teammates. Since its launch, the US tech giant has updated its features by rolling out new updates. The company has started rolling out a new update that lets users use companion mode to check in to Google Meet conference rooms so everyone knows you by name.

With this latest update, Google has added a Room Check-in feature to the Google Meet companion mode that allows everyone on the call to easily identify who is in the conference room instead of just seeing the conference room’s name. Consequently, this update creates greater transparency with everyone that uses Google Meet during the conference.

According to the latest information, this check-in will be available by default, but administrators can turn off the feature for specific Meet hardware devices or for specific users. Below you can see how to turn this feature off for specific Meat hardware devices or specific users.

How to turn Room Check-in off for specific Meat hardware devices:

Admins can turn off room check-in for specific Meet hardware devices within an organizational unit in the admin console. For that, Go to the Admin Console > Devices > Google Meet hardware > [Organizational Unit] > Device Settings > Room Check-In > Uncheck “Users can check in to this device’s meeting room.”.

How to turn Room Check-in off for specific users within an organizational unit:

To turn off room check-in for specific users, go to Apps > Google Workspaces> Google Meet > [Organizational unit] > Meet video settings > Room check-in > “All users can check in to eligible rooms” in the admin console Uncheck.

According to the information, this latest update for Google Meet is being gradually rolled out for beta testers through rapid release from June 22. Also, this new feature will be available for common customers from July 24.
