OAKLAND: Google<\/a> will allow business and education users on Gmail.com to directly take calls on its video conferencing tool Meet starting Thursday, a new feature being offered as the Alphabet Inc unit seeks to capitalize on security and other concerns with rival services.

The integration of Meet with e-mail is the first of several features being launched ahead of schedule because of a surge in demand for video conferencing, Google vice president Javier Soltero told Reuters.

Meet, which is available only to schools, businesses and governments and is distinct from the consumer-focused Hangouts tool, has added daily users faster than any other Google service since January. Millions of institutions now are relying on Meet because of lockdowns associated with the coronavirus, the company said.

Other functionalities will be added later this month, Soltero said. Meet will offer a layout displaying up to 16 call participants at once, resembling a popular option on rival
Zoom<\/a> that its users have compared to a grid in the opening sequence of American TV show \"Brady Bunch.\"

In addition, Meet will improve video quality in dim lighting and filtering of background noise, such as keyboard clicks and slamming doors.

Soltero declined to specify Meet's user growth rate, but said a recent peak was 60% more users compared to a day earlier.

Google announced last Thursday that Meet, which is available on a desktop browser or through mobile apps, was adding 2 million new users per day and had more than 100 million education users across 150 countries.

Google is not charging customers for upgrades to Meet-related features like large video calls during a six-month period ending in September. The policy, which is aimed at winning over customers in the long run, could add to the strain on Google's profits at a time at when its ads sales business is taking a hit.

But some companies and schools later banned Zoom over security issues it has since tried to fix, while Microsoft and Cisco services can be more challenging for first-time users to harness.

Soltero said Google has benefited from swiftly delivering new features in the last month.

\"I've seen time and time again customers and prospects coming from other solutions that have not been able to keep up or had concerns in security and reliability,\" Soltero said, pointing to New York City public schools' jump to Meet from Zoom as an example.

Google last month gave educators greater control over who could join calls, weeks before Zoom introduced similar features to curb a practice dubbed \"Zoombombing\" in which strangers effectively hacked into meetings and classes to disrupt them.

A forthcoming Meet option, Soltero told Reuters, will let users display a specific tab on their Google Chrome browser, a more granular screen-sharing option than Zoom and others provide.

Zoom has blamed some of its security issues on unexpectedly broad usage of its free version.

Google's Soltero described not developing safeguards for free tools as \"inherently wrong.\"

But he acknowledged that Hangouts, Google's free video conferencing service for non-business users, lacks security and meeting control features that are available in Meet. As a result, some people in recent weeks have used their corporate or school Meet accounts to host non-work social gatherings.

Soltero said Google is working on streamlining features across the services, \"so the products they use at work, they can use at home.\"

奥克兰:谷歌将允许商业和教育用户在Gmail.com上直接接电话视频会议工具满足从周四开始,一个新特性提供字母表公司单位寻求与竞争对手服务利用安全等问题。

的集成与电子邮件的几个特性是提前了,因为对视频会议的需求激增,谷歌副总裁Javier Soltero告诉路透。

满足,只有学校、企业和政府,不同于消费主导型视频群聊工具,增加了日常用户自今年1月以来比任何其他谷歌服务。数以百万计的机构现在依赖满足因为与冠状病毒相关的封锁,该公司表示。

其他功能将被添加在本月晚些时候,Soltero说。满足将提供一个布局显示16叫参与者,像一个受欢迎的选择对手变焦相比,其用户开放的网格序列的美国电视节目“布雷迪”。

此外,在昏暗的灯光下满足改善视频质量和过滤背景噪声,如键盘点击和摔门。

Soltero拒绝满足指定的用户增长率,但表示近期高点是用户一天前相比增加了60%。

谷歌上周四宣布,见面,可以在桌面浏览器或通过移动应用程序,每天要新增200万名用户,在150个国家的超过1亿的教育用户。

谷歌不收取客户升级完成功能,如大型视频通话六个月期间在九月结束。旨在赢得客户的政策,从长远来看,可以添加一次应变在谷歌的利润在其广告销售业务也受到了打击。

挑战竞争对手
视频聊天工具微软集团,变焦视频通信思科系统公司. n:行情)也公布了创纪录的增长封锁以来。

但有些公司和学校以后禁止变焦在此后试图解决安全问题,而微软和思科服务可以更具挑战性的首次用户利用。

Soltero表示谷歌已经受益于上个月迅速交付新功能。

“我见过一次又一次的客户和前景来自其他解决方案,一直未能跟上或在安全性和可靠性的担忧,“Soltero说,指着纽约市公立学校的跳转到满足放大为例。

谷歌上月给教育者更好地控制谁可以加入电话,前几周放大介绍类似的特性来抑制这种做法被称为“Zoombombing”陌生人有效地侵入会议和类破坏它们。

Soltero告诉路透,即将满足选项将允许用户显示一个特定的标签在Google Chrome浏览器,比变焦和其他人提供更细粒度的分享自己电脑屏幕的选项。

放大了它的一些安全问题归咎于意外广泛使用的免费版本。

谷歌Soltero形容不开发保障免费工具“本质上是错误的。”

但他承认视频群聊,谷歌为非商业用户免费视频会议服务,缺乏安全性和会议控制特性。因此,一些人在最近几周已经使用他们的公司或学校满足账户主机与工作无关的社交聚会。

Soltero说,谷歌正在精简功能服务,“所以他们所使用的产品在工作,他们可以使用在家里。”
