If you are in an official meeting just to discover that some aspect of your setup is not working, it is far less than ideal. Today, Google Meet announced “Green Room”, a unique way of checking that everything works before the user joins a particular meeting or call. As per Google, the user can make use of this new functionality to confirm that the peripheral devices that are part of one’s setup and fully working and connected, so as to ensure that there will be no issues during the call.

The user can also check as to whether their internet connection is fast and check the noise being picked up by your mic whilst on a call, making sure that unwanted chatter is not picked up by your mic in the middle of a meeting.

If during the said test the Green Room picks up any discrepancies, a warning pops up to help the user understand the problem and cater to the same. The rollout for this feature has begun, with Google stating that it might take a maximum of 15 days for this new feature to appear for most users.
