Check your video and peripheral device quality before joining a Google Meet call
Tuesday, February 2, 2021
When a problem is detected, you’ll see a warning and tips for troubleshooting common issues, like granting your browser permission to use the microphone or camera.
For example, you can catch issues like:
- An unintentionally muted microphone
- A secondary display monitor with a missing headphone or speaker connection
- Other audio issues, such as poor sound quality, audio that’s too loud, or your microphone amplifying background noises
In addition, you can make adjustments to lighting and positioning, helping you avoid dark or grainy video quality.
