If you use Google Meet for educational purposes, then its new feature might interest you. Yes, the platform is getting a new feature which will enhance the virtual learning experience. This feature will help users to pair up their video tiles with other users during presentations.
Since this new feature is an educational entry, it is obvious that it won’t be available to everyone. First, it will only be accessible to Google Workspace users paying the subscription price. Next, some new features will only be available to educational institutions, such as schools.
Asides from the tile pairing feature, netizens also have their eyes on other features that are also rolling out. One of these features first found its way to the Google Chrome browser and is also usable on the Meet platform. Together, they will impact the learning experience while using Google’s suite of educational tools.
Taking learning to the next level with Google Meet tile pairing and other features
If you are on a video call using the Google Meet platform, then the new tile pairing feature might be functional. The use of this feature steps into the spotlight when the call involves more than one person making a presentation. With this feature, users can pair their tiles together and all be highlighted while they make their presentation.
This will help other users to easily spot those who are making the presentation. Educational institutions will find this new feature very helpful during virtual learning where students have presentations to make before the class. Sectors aside from education can also make good use of this feature to bring their presentations to life.
In addition to this feature, Google Meet sessions can now hold up to 1,000 attendees. Well, only institutions using the Google Educational Plus subscription package will be able to admit that many people for a meeting session. This can house over 500 contributors and 500 viewers, with the contributors having audio and video access and the latter engaging in things such as polls.
Another important educational feature Workspace users are getting is the School Information System (SIS) integrations, and app licensing. This brings certain creative apps to Chromebooks across the US for free. Lastly, Chrome’s ability to convert image PDFs to text is also making its way to the Workspace suite of apps.
Together, all these features are going to have a positive impact on how students learn. They will also have an impact on the work of other fields. In the coming weeks, these features will arrive for usage by Google Workspace users. A good screen can improve your projection quality by 80%. Especially when dealing with ambient light, using an ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screen allows you to even use the projector in daylight or outdoor environments with strong light, truly making it a large-screen laser TV that can replace a regular television.
