Google Meet now lets you turn off video of call participants

Interlocutors do not know about it.
Google Meet offers a variety of backgrounds and video filters to hide the mess in the room during calls, but not everyone is happy with this alternative. The background can be bright, distracting, or not easily appropriate for a work call. And Google seems to recognize this.
In a Workspace blog post announced the ability to turn off another user's video in the Meet mobile app and the web version of the service. To do this, just click on the icon in the form of three dots next to the participant's name and select "Do not show".
The user for whom you turned off the video will not receive any notifications, and this will not affect other participants in the call either. In addition to the obvious ability to remove annoying videos, this option will also be useful for those who want to save traffic when calling via mobile Internet.
It is noted that the feature will be distributed gradually and will be available to all Workspace and G Suite users within 15 days.
