News & Reviews:   video meeting

For those of us in Malaysia, the only relevance that Thanksgiving has for us are the sales that will happen on e-commerce sites like Amazon. But this time around we'll be getting some extra from Zoom. Just for one day, the platform will remove the time limit for free meetings on Thanksgiving.

Back in June, Google announced that it would be bringing a noise cancellation to Google Meet. The feature has been on the web version for some time, but it was only yesterday Google announced that the update is now going to be available on Android and iOS.

Remember Zoom and its infamous 'zoombombing' incidents? The increase in people working from home has pushed more people to use video meeting apps, but it brought a slew of new issues like strangers crashing video meetings. Google has been working hard to ensure its Google Meet platform avoids the same problems and has announced new preventive measures.

Video meeting has become the norm for many, with people now working from home due to restrictions in many countries. Of course, the increase in use means more people know what they want out of these apps and noise cancellation is one of them. Back in April, Google announced that noise cancellation would be coming to Google Meet and that update is just around the corner.

With so many of us still working from home these days, video calls continue to be a popular way for virtual meetings to be conducted. Remember how Canon released a utility tool to turn your camera into a webcam? Well, Panasonic has the same type of software now and it works on Lumix cameras.
