Google Meet now supports 1080p group video calls
The higher quality video calling feature was first introduced on Google’s service back in April, but was only available for one-on-one calls.
Now 1080p resolution is also available for group video sessions (3 or more participants) in Google Meet for Workspace subscribers.
In order to use the feature, participants with Full HD (or better) webcams must enable it by accepting the prompt that will automatically appear on the joining screen. As a confirmation, a 1080p icon will appear in the upper right corner of the video window.
You can set the options for sending and receiving high-quality video in Settings at > Video online, and Google Meet will automatically adjust the quality if your network bandwidth is low.
The update is now available for Workspace subscribers, including Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and Workspace Individual. Paid Google One users are not included in the list, so they will only have to accept individual 1080p calls.
