Filter out disruptive noise in Google Meet
Tuesday, June 30, 2020
To help limit interruptions to your meeting, Google Meet can now intelligently filter out background noise like keyboard typing, doors opening and closing, and construction outside your window. Cloud-based AI is used to remove noise from your audio input while still letting your voice through.
We had previously announced this top-requested feature and are now beginning to roll it out to G Suite Enterprise and G Suite Enterprise for Education customers using Meet on the web. We will bring the feature to mobile users soon, and will announce on the G Suite Updates blog when it’s available.
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
- End users: This feature is OFF by default. To turn Noise cancellation ON, use the settings menu. Visit our Help Center to learn more about how to filter out noise from your video conference on Google Meet.
- Now available to all web users in most countries.
- For users in Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, and New Zealand, extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 30, 2020.
