Google has now added a functionality that makes it possible for you to quickly preview how you’ll appear to others before entering a Google Meet video call.
While in the “green room, you can check that peripheral devices are properly configured and corrected, the quality of your network connectivity. You can also ascertain the impact of noise cancellation on your audio (if it’s available to your account)
If a problem is detected, you’ll see a warning and tips for troubleshooting common issues, like granting your browser permission to use the microphone or camera.
How to do a video preview
On the screen before joining a meeting, click the “Check your audio and video” button and this will open the “green room,” where you can preview your audio and video.
The rollout of this functionality starts today, February 2 and is available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus, as well as G Suite Basic, Business, Education, Enterprise for Education, and Nonprofits customers
