google meet is getting yet another minor but important improvement google has made a small ui update to the google meet which going forward will let its users know more about the noise cancellation and background noise around them according to a google blog post the new ui change in meet will let users know how loud is their background environment and also how much background noise cancellation is active for those who dont know google meet comes with a noise cancellation feature which can restrict background noises like construction sounds and other random sounds to make the meeting experience better earlier there was no way of knowing how much background noise removal is being done by google however google has now added a new blue voice indicator which expands and contracts based on the background noise and how much noise is being removed when the noise cancellation is enabled so if the ring is expanding then google meet is removing background noise there are essentially three stages to it let us explainif you dont see the voice indicator no audio voice or noise is coming from youif you see the circle expanding with the reducing noise message then a burst of noise is being filtered out while you speak and other participants will only hear your voice this visual cue is triggered at most once per meetingnoise is being filtered out on a continuous basis while you speak and other participants will only hear your voice the noise level is reflected by the ring sizethe new noise cancellation indicator is now rolling out to google workspace business standard business plus enterprise essentials enterprise standard enterprise plus education plus and workspace individual customers the feature wont be available to google workspace essentials business starter education fundamentals frontline and nonprofits as well as g suite basic business customers and personal google account users
