Google Meet Adds Audio Video Lock Feature to Help Hosts Mute Participants During Calls

Google Meet adds a new audio and video lock feature that allows the host to turn off the microphone and camera of selected participants during the meeting. It can also prevent participants from reopening them until the host unlocks them. Earlier this year, the search giant gave Google Meet hosts the ability to mute all participants at the same time in the desktop version of Google Meet. The latest Audio and Video Lock allows the host to prevent participants from unmute after they are muted.

Google announced the arrival of new features in a blog post on October 21st. The audio and video lock function allows the host to better control the meeting to ensure work efficiency. For example, the host can use this option when background noise interferes with other listeners. In addition, the host can also decide to allow participants to participate in different levels.

During the call, the latest audio and video locks will be applied to any breakout rooms that are subsequently launched—the same is true for small groups in Google Meet. After the breakout conference is formed, any changes made to the lock settings of a single room will not affect the settings of other breakout conferences or the main conference.

This feature is available for devices with Android operating system version M or higher and iOS version 12 or higher. Users also need to have the latest version of the Meet or Gmail application. If the host or co-host turns on any of these locks, those using Google Meet for Android or iOS that don’t support the new features will be removed from the meeting. If participants try to join a meeting that has one of these locks enabled, they will be asked to update their application or use another device to join the meeting. Turning off the audio or video lock will allow these participants to rejoin the meeting.

The audio and video lock feature was launched on October 21 for users in the fast-release domain. It will be available to all users in the coming weeks. Google confirmed that it will be available to all Google Workspace customers as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025

Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
