What’s changing
Earlier this year, we announced 1080p video resolution for 1:1 Google Meet calls. Today, we’re expanding 1080p to meetings with three or more participants. This higher resolution is available on the web when using computers with enough computing power and a 1080p camera. 1080p resolution is off by default — users with 1080p cameras will be prompted to turn on the higher resolution option before entering the meeting, or it can be turned on or off via the settings menu.
Note that 1080p is only sent when one or more users are pinning the 1080p-enabled user on a screen large enough to render the 1080p video feed. In those specific scenarios, additional bandwidth will be required to be able to send 1080p video — Meet will automatically adjust the resolution if the device is bandwidth constrained.
Getting started
- Admins: There is no specific admin control for 1080p — default video quality options still apply.
- End users: This feature is OFF by default and can be enabled by the user. Visit the Help Center to learn more about how to enable 1080p in Meet.
