San Francisco: Google has announced that Meet users will soon be able to unmute themselves by holding down the spacebar and mute themselves again by releasing it.

The company said that will make it easier for users to participate in their meetings by quickly unmuting to say something.

“This feature will also help in situations where you forget to mute again after unmuting yourself. This feature is OFF by default and can be enabled in the Google Meet settings,” the company said.

The company said it changed how the “Hey Google” voice control works for Google Meet hardware devices.

With this update, the Google Assistant will only be active when a device is not in a meeting and within 10 minutes of an upcoming meeting, the company said.

Google has also launched a new feature that allows you to create high-performance custom functions that support built-in Sheets formula constructs.

The company said users can now use visitor sharing to allow non-Google users to upload content or create files within shared drives owned by organisations and users on Google Workspace.

About Google Meet

Google Meet (formerly known as Hangouts Meet and Google Duo) is a proprietary voice over IP (VoIP) and videotelephony service developed by Google, available for Android, iOS and web browsers. It is one of two apps that constitute the replacement for Google Hangouts and Google Duo, the other being Google Chat. It lets users make and receive one-to-one and group audio and video calls with other Meet users in high definition, using end-to-end encryption by default. Meet can be used either with a phone number or a Google account, allowing users to call someone from their contact list.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of Meet grew by a factor of 30 between January and April 2020, with 100 million users a day accessing Meet, compared to 200 million daily users of Zoom as of the last week of April 2020.
