As of March 2021, Google added a new security feature to 精东影业 Google Meet settings, called Quick Access. While Quick Access is turned ON you will not notice any differences in how Google Meet behaves. However, if a meeting organizer turns Quick Access OFF, these new security features are added to the meeting:

  • The host must join first, and if you join a meeting before the host, you鈥檒l be brought to a waiting room.
  • Only people invited by the host can join the meeting without asking.
  • Everyone else must ask the host to join the meeting (even if they were invited by someone else in the meeting).
  • People cannot join anonymously.
  • Only hosts can dial out of a meeting.

Meeting organizers can choose to turn Quick Access on or off at any time once a Google Meet has been created, either before a meeting has started, or even during a meeting.
