If you’re a Google Meet enthusiast, your experience will improve from this point on. Google now allows you to make video calls on Google Meet in HD quality. Google has announced that users can now make video calls in 1080p. However, there is a downside! This premium feature is only available to selected users. For select versions of Google Workspace, you can find this new HD option for video calls, Google says. This new resolution option can be found on the web when using a computer with a 1080p camera and enough computing power in meetings with at least two participants.
It should be noted that the new high definition resolution is disabled by default, however, it can be enabled or disabled via the settings menu depending on preference. You must have the additional bandwidth required to send 1080p video. First, there’s no admin control over this feature in Google Meet.
