Filter out noise from your meeting on Google Meet

Important:

• We recommend you turn off noise cancellation in Meet if you use an electrolarynx. Accessibility improvements are in progress in Meet.
• Noise cancellation is on by default for Pexip devices. To disable noise cancellation, refer to Pexip technical documentation.
• If noise cancellation is on for your organization, it's also on for participants who dial in or use a phone for audio. Learn how to use a phone for audio in a video meeting.
  • It's not available when you dial out to add a phone participant to a meeting in progress.

To help limit distractions in your meeting, you can filter out background noise. Meet can remove background noises such as typing, closing a door, room echo, or the sounds of a nearby construction site.

• Audio capture from screen sharing won’t be affected by noise cancellation.
• Meet filters out noises that don’t sound like voices. Voices from TV or people talking at the same time won’t be filtered out.
• If non-speech is an important part of your meeting, like playing musical instruments, turn off noise cancellation.
• Meet adjusts the audio so everyone is heard at a comfortable volume.
