Google Meet unveils new tool to improve online teaching

New Delhi, Feb 18 : In a fresh bid to make online teaching more secure, Google has announced new safety and engagement features in its Meet app.
Teachers will soon have the option to end meetings for everyone on the call, preventing students from staying on after the teacher has left — including in breakout rooms.
Rolling out over the next few weeks, “mute all” feature will help educators keep class on track.
“Since sometimes it’s important to teach without interruption, launching in the coming months, meeting hosts will be able to control when students can unmute themselves,” said Jennifer Shen, Product Manager, Google Meet, on Wednesday.
In the coming months, educators using tablets or mobile phones to teach will also have access to key moderation controls, like who can join their meetings or use the chat or share their screen, directly from their iOS or Android devices.
Later this year, Google Classroom and Meet will work together even better, so every meeting created from Classroom is even safer by default.
