Use call controls with Google Meet

You can use the buttons, or call controls, on your USB devices, such as headsets or microphones, to mute and unmute yourself in Google Meet. 

Before you begin

For best results: 

• Use a Meet-certified headset or microphone.
• Call controls work with most USB devices. 
  • Devices that aren’t Meet-certified might not work as expected.
• Bluetooth devices aren’t currently supported.

Tip: This feature is currently only supported on Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, like Microsoft Edge.
