Nuked Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! Nuked here, and I have some exciting news to share with you all. Google Meet has finally stepped up its game and introduced support for 1080p video calls. But before you get too excited, let me tell you that this feature is only available for paying subscribers.
Google announced on Wednesday that it will be rolling out this upgrade to select Workspace and Google One users. However, you can only access 1080p video calls on the web-based version of Google Meet, and it all depends on whether your computer’s webcam actually supports the resolution. So, before you hit that Turn on HD video button, make sure your device is up for the task.
Google also notes that you’ll need additional bandwidth to send 1080p video and says that it will automatically adjust your resolution if bandwidth is “constrained.” This means that if your internet connection isn’t strong enough, the feature won’t work smoothly. But hey, at least Google has got us covered with this handy feature.
If you’re wondering how to enable this feature, it’s pretty simple. All you need to do is select the three dots in the top right corner of your video feed and then hit Turn on HD video. It’s not enabled by default, so make sure you turn it on before your next video call.
It’s great to see Google Meet catching up with other videoconferencing apps like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, which already have support for 1080p calls. And while this feature is only available for paying subscribers, Google says that 1080p video calling is available for all users with certain plans. These include Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, Education Plus, Enterprise Essentials, and Frontline. It’s also available to users with a Google One plan that supports at least 2TB of storage.
So, there you have it, folks. Google Meet has finally entered the world of 1080p video calls. Let’s hope that this is just the beginning of more exciting features to come. Happy video calling!
