Google Meet is rolling out a new feature that will allow you to pause the video streams for individual tiles to improve focus on frequent speakers or presenters.<\/p>\n

To turn off individual feeds, you can tap the three-dot menu next to the person\u2019s name in the sidebar on the web, and click on \u201cDon\u2019t watch.\u201d On mobile, there is a new \u201cAudio only\u201d mode, which turns off all feeds apart from the presenter\u2019s feed. Hopefully, Google rolls out this facility to desktops as well.<\/p>\n

The \u201cAudio only\u201d mode is certainly helpful to save data if you are on the move.<\/p>\n

Google said that Meet won\u2019t notify others when you switch off their video feeds. Plus, their meeting experience will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n

The company said it has already started to roll out the feature and will make it available to the entire base in a few weeks. Thankfully, admins can\u2019t turn off the feature for individuals, so it will be available to users at all times.<\/p>\n
