Google Meet can now remove noise from video calls in real time

Google on Wednesday demonstrated a new machine learning (ML) feature on Meet — its video conferencing service – which eliminates background noise from video calls in real time. You might be nervous and clicking a pen while on a call but people won’t hear it.

While Google announced this feature back in April, it is being rolled out gradually to the users today. According to VentureBeat, the rollout is phased between Meet users, so everyone may not see the option right away.

When the feature was first announced, Google had said it would remove noise like keystrokes from taking meeting notes, a dog barking in the background etc. VentureBeat’s video also shows sounds like the noise from unwrapping something, stirring a coffee cup etc. being removed in real time.
