Video conferencing offers a way for individuals to connect remotely across various platforms, devices and screens. It provides multiple users the ability to connect all at once from any location with a stable internet connection. And it empowers them with new ways of communicating about what matters most for their business or personal life.

The meeting host can control the meeting, mute participants and also remove unwanted intruders from the meeting. The same features will be extended to the co-hosts. Announcing the new features, Google said in a blog post, “ We hope these expanded controls make it easier for you to keep meetings productive, safe, and help prevent potential disruptions.

Additionally, delegated co-hosts can handle responsibilities such as—muting participants, launching polls, managing Q&As—giving you more time to focus on leading discussions and guiding attendees through presentations. Other settings include controlling safety features, allowing host to enable or disable the use of chat lock and present lock, among others. These pre-setting controls will be made available to all Google users, including Google Workspace customers, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers.
