About an hour before kickoff of a Los Angeles Rams game five years ago, Mike Karney braced for an uncomfortable conversation. It was Karney’s job to warn a Rams defensive back that the NFL didn’t approve of the trendy Kanye West-designed cleats the defender was wearing. “You need to take those off,” Karney gently told the player, gesturing at the pair of newly released Yeezys on his feet. The NFL at the time banned players from wearing the cleats because their marled colorways and… Source link

Google Meet hosts will soon be able to turn off participants’ microphones or cameras and prevent them from turning them back on, the company announced in a Workspace blog. The feature could be a useful way for hosts to keep noisy or rowdy attendees from continually interrupting meetings even after they have already been muted. The microphone and camera lock feature will be off by default; hosts will have to turn it on during meetings if they want to use it. If your meeting has breakout… Source link

Google Meet is getting new audio and video locks to let hosts turn off the microphones and cameras of other participants. The new feature essentially lets you mute a user and prevent them from unmuting themselves until you unlock them. Earlier this year, Google rolled out the ability for hosts to mute everyone all at once in a group call. This latest feature takes the move a step further by preventing participants from unmuting themselves at any point during the… Source link

Meet will then increase the brightness so it’s easier to see your cohorts and perhaps make your feed clearer if you have a terrible webcam. The low-light mode hit the Google Meet iOS and Android mobile apps . It uses AI to examine light levels and tweak the brightness. There’s… Source link

The Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup hasn’t even gone on sale yet, but demand is so red hot that the automaker is already ramping up production. The first Lightning prototypes are rolling off an assembly line in Dearborn, Mich. for real-world testing, with the truck arriving in dealerships this spring. But with 150,000 reservations already in hand for its inaugural EV pickup truck, Ford (F) announced Thursday that it will invest an additional $250 million and add 450 more jobs at three… Source link

As cool as videoconferencing hardware can look, it’s often exorbitantly expensive — the $2,000 Series One Desk 27 for Google Meet being a perfect example. Luckily, alongside that expensive Meet machine, Google also announced its “Designed for Google Meet” program and a more affordable first entry, the Rayz Rally Pro. It’s a $200 Nest Mini-like phone speaker that doubles as a microphone for Google Meet calls. The Rayz Rally Pro comes in a gray-tone fabric-covered body that looks… Source link

Whether you are attending an online class or a corporate meeting, Google Meet has the tools to give you the best experience. One of my favorite tools is the ability to record your meetings.  Recording your Google Meet meeting can have various benefits. For corporate meetings, it can help team members revisit topics that were discussed. It can also replace logging more traditional minutes during the meeting. For students, they can use a recording of their professor’s lecture as a… Source link

Google Meet will soon tell you when it thinks you’re creating an echo in calls, Google announced in a blog posting Monday. Right now, it’s hard to know if you’re creating an irritating echo for meeting participants unless they interrupt the meeting to tell you. Google’s new proactive warnings should therefore help minimize everyone’s suffering. Google says that Meet already controls audio to remove echo. But it can’t account for all remote desktop speaker and mic… Source link

Google is adding a bunch of new features to Google Meet, making it easier for users to control and direct meetings. However, exactly which controls will be available depends on whether you are using Meet as a regular user or as part of a Google Workspace team. The main update is that all users will now be able to assign up to 25 co-hosts per meeting, who will have access to host controls. This will let them limit who can share their screen and send chat messages, as well as mute all… Source link
