JAKARTA - The Zoom video conferencing application may have updated its security features. But now the application must be vigilant, because its competitors Google Meet also has a series of new features that are quite superior.

Google Meet has brought four of the most requested features to its platform using artificial intelligence (AI) based technology. This development comes a few days after Google Duo also rolled out new features to its platform.

"These features use technology such as Google AI to improve the quality of meetings and user experiences," said Director of Product Management, Smita Hashim, in a blog post.

Currently, Google's application is also increasingly popular in the midst of a policy situation that requires people to work from home to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19. But because Zoom is more able to accommodate video conferences with dozens of members, many people, especially in the United States (US), prefer to use Zoom as a means of communicating.

However, Zoom has problems regarding its security features that are easy to break and the audio quality is not good. Nevertheless, Google also took the initiative to steal the hearts of Zoom users by preparing a new, superior weapon. What are the four features that Google Meet brings? The following is a summary VOI from Live Mint.

1. View Participants in One Grid

Currently Google Meet will display 16 members simultaneously on one screen. Previously, the application only allowed four people on the screen during a video conference. Google claims, it will bring more updates for larger meetings, better presentation layouts and support for more smart devices.

2. Higher Video Quality

Mountain View technology giant, USA has a way to improve the quality of video and audio during the conference. Namely, the Google Meet application will allow users to display full screen on one tab in Google Chrome with the feature "present a Chrome tab."

3. Low Light Mode

This new feature, as the name suggests, will improve visibility in low light conditions. Since most homes or places are not equipped with sufficient lighting for good video quality, this new feature will light up dim videos. Currently, the feature is rolling out to mobile users only and Google has claimed it will be available for web users in the future.

4. AI Cancellation Noise

Not a few who experience noise when conducting video conferences, the presence of foreign voices can affect failure to focus during meetings. But don't worry, now Google Meet has an AI Noise feature that will work actively during calls. Noise will be canceled for both speaker and listener. Of course, Zoom doesn't have this feature.
