Improved video quality on high-resolution displays in Google Meet

We’re updating Meet to provide higher quality video for users with high-resolution displays on the web and in rooms. This change will provide sharper and more detailed video, particularly for meetings with three or more participants.

To serve users with high-resolution displays, additional bandwidth will be used, and Meet will automatically adjust the resolution if the device is bandwidth constrained.

In the coming months, we’ll also update the Admin console settings to control the default video quality and bandwidth used in your organization. Stay tuned to the Workspace Updates blog for more information when these settings launch.

Getting started

• Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about Meet bandwidth requirements.
• End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility)

Availability

• Available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts
