Turn Google Meet Quick access on or off from Google Calendar Posted: 15 Dec 2020 12:11 PM PST Quick launch summary  Meeting organizers in G Suite for Education and Enterprise for Education domains can now turn Quick access on or off for a meeting from the event in Google Calendar. The Quick access setting helps organizers control if participants must ask to join the video meeting. By adding controls to calendar events, organizers can configure the setting appropriately in advance of the meeting. Previously, the setting could only be controlled via the Host controls menu during the meeting.  As announced last week, the Quick access setting is now "sticky" for recurring meetings. That means that if you change the setting—either before the meeting via Google Calendar or during the meeting via in-call settings—it will be saved for any future meetings that use the same meeting code.  Control Quick access from the event in Google Calendar  Getting started  Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.  End users: Quick access is turned ON by default for all meetings. It can be turned off or on for each meeting, and any changes will be saved for future meetings that use the same meeting code. Visit our Help Center to learn more about Quick access.  Rollout pace  Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on December 15, 2020  Availability  Available to G Suite for Education and Enterprise for Education customers  Not available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus, as well as G Suite Basic, Business, and Nonprofits customers  Resources  Google Help: Control access to a video meeting with Quick access

Additional language support for live captions in Google Meet Posted: 15 Dec 2020 08:56 AM PST Quick launch summary We're expanding live captions in Google Meet to French, German, Portuguese and Spanish (Spain and Latin America) speakers. They were previously only available in English. Live captions allow deaf and hard of hearing users, users with different primary languages, and users in noisy environments to participate more fully in meetings. During a Meet call, each video call participant will be able to select the meeting's spoken language when enabling captions. Choose your captions language in Google Meet. Captions setting will also be "sticky." This means that if you turn them on or off during a meeting, they will be saved, along with the chosen language, for future meetings. Non-English captions are currently available on the web to APAC and EMEA countries only, with rollout to North America and Latin America coming in early 2021. Additionally we'll also expand support to iOS and Android mobile apps in early 2021. Getting started Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. End users: This feature will be available by default in APAC and EMEA countries. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using captions in Meet. Rollout pace Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on December 15, 2020 Availability Available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus, as well as G Suite Basic, Business, Education, Enterprise for Education, and Nonprofits customers.
