Safeguarded guest admit flow in Google Meet

The new safeguarded guest admit flow assists hosts in meetings when they respond to users who ask to join meetings (also known as ”knocking”). This makes it easier for hosts to handle large volumes of requests and helps reduce the attention and time needed.

Meeting hosts will now get those requests presented in two separate queues. A new second queue now shows requests from connections where the host is more likely to need a closer look before deciding to approve them into the meeting. The default action for entries in this queue is to deny entry.

Hosts/co-hosts still remain in control and are always free to take another action than the default suggested.
