Do you know Google Meet enables noise cancellation? Well, now you do. The feature uses AI to cancel out noises that do not come off as noises such as noise from your TV or someone in the background. Note that the feature is only available on the web. Here is how to activate the feature.

Go to Meet homepage
Click on Settings
Select Audio
Turn on Noise Cancellation
Click Done to finish

Note that the feature is fairly new to G-Suite so many may not find the feature for the time being in their settings. Featured Image Source: The Verge
