Google is now rolling out a new update for Google Meet, which will prompt users if they want to exit Meetings. If you are the only one in it. For example, if you schedule a meeting and no one shows up within five minutes and a notification will pop up asking if you were still there and if you’d like to keep waiting or leave the call, And if that pop up goes unattended for two minutes, you will automatically get kicked out.
Discord already implements similar measures, preventing wasting bandwidth, and zoom also has a time limit for idle meetings, but it lasts up to 40 minutes. Google did not really specify whether this new feature was a way to stop wasting resources, but it really seems like it. Google is gradually going to be rolling out this feature starting on April 11th and it will take 15 days to reach every desktop and iOS user. It will also be available for Android users pretty soon.
