Friday, February 5, 2021 at 3:45PM Schooling in the age of a pandemic requires a lot of video calls. That's why Google wants to improve its Meet app and Zoom to perform better on Chromebooks. The company wants devices to handle video conferences throughout the day while running other apps and software.
It said they "improved how Meet videos are streamed" on Chrome OS" without causing any performance issues with other apps. The company also will allow users to use more advanced features like grid views while making sure "audio and video data don't require unnecessary processing."
