Track meeting quality & statistics

This feature requires having the Admin quality dashboard access privilege. If you don't have this privilege, ask your IT administrator.

What's causing your meeting issues? You can find out using the Meet quality tool (MQT). For example, you can see: 

• Network statistics (jitter, packet loss, and congestion)
• Network connection delay (RTT) 
• Microphone level and received audio level
• System (CPU) statistics

The MQT is a troubleshooting tool, not a real-time monitoring tool, so some metrics may be delayed.

The MQT saves data for 30 days. For more information, go to Data retention and lag times.

Open the Meet quality tool

To access the MQT, you must be signed in to an administrator account that has the admin quality dashboard access privilege. Open the Meet quality tool

 

Access the tool from the Google Admin console

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsGoogle WorkspaceGoogle Meet.
3. Click Meet quality tool.
4. (Optional) If you're already logged in, you can search for a meeting code, organizer or participant by searching from any admin page.

 

Give users access to the MQT

As a super administrator, you can give users access to the MQT. Do this by creating a custom admin role and assigning it to those users. Users with that role can only access the tool with the direct link and not through the Admin console.

See statistics for live streams using Meet eCDN

You can see Meet eCDN data for your meeting streams. If a meeting is recurring, each session has its own data. Data is always grouped by network name and retained according to the Workspace data retention policy. The available metrics are:

• Enablement rate: The percentage of devices that can join a P2P network based on their network settings.
• Savings rate: The percentage of traffic that viewers get from peers instead of the original media server.
• Media fallback rate: The percentage of viewers that go back to the original media server because P2P media quality or availability isn't good enough.

Admins can also get more data from APIs. For details, go to Google Meet Audit Activity Events.
