Google introduced new tools for distance learning

The new features allow up to 49 people to participate in a single Google Meet video conference.

Besides, in September, the company will implement into its service a digital whiteboard called Jamboard. In October, they plan to add the ability to change or blur the background.

Google took care of not just the students, but the teachers as well. Starting the second half of the fall, they will be able to track the level of attendance in online lessons. In addition, teachers will be able to use some advanced management features, such as disabling chat, simultaneously completing lessons, limiting views, etc.

Important! Google Meet is a video and phone service developed by Google. At the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (February 2020), the company provided free access to the product for all users.
