Who’s impacted
End usersWhy you’d use it
Seeing more people at the same time can help improve the dynamics of larger group meetings and classes. Whether it's seeing everyone's reactions to what's being discussed, or more easily tracking multiple speakers, it can help remote meetings feel more like in-person meetings and encourage participation.We hope that this helps individuals and teams feel more connected while apart.

As a reminder, all G Suite customers can host meetings with up to 250 participants through September 30, 2020.This feature is currently only available in Meet on the web.
