Let’s Discuss How to Activate Data Saver Mode on Google Meet to save data during meetings. The Covid Pandemic and the subsequent Work From Home system and Online Classes made Online Meeting Apps grab all the attention during the pandemic. Google Meet and Zoom were the most used apps for online interactions and meetings.
The use of Google Meet for video conferencing and Online Classes was a seamless and convenient process but it was at the cost of a large amount of Data. The streaming of audio and video over Google Meet resulted in the consumption of a large amount of data for the users.
Google had paid attention to this and a while ago they announced that they will introduce a new feature that would help users to limit the amount of data consumption by Google Meet.
Now, the feature has been released and is now enabled for both Android and iOS. Let us see how we can enable this feature to save data consumption during Online Meetings and Classes.
How to Turn on Data Saver mode on Google Meet
STEP 1: Open the Google Meet app on your iOS or android
STEP 2: Tap on the menu icon (The three parallel lines on the top left corner)
STEP 3: Go to the settings tab and turn on limit data usage.
Now Google Meet will reduce the data consumption by Google Meet on your device. Turning on the feature won’t create any issues in your meetings. Moreover, the feature also reduces the CPU usage and battery usage by the app. Hence, Saving both Data and Battery.
The Data saver mode feature is now available on both the mobile Operating systems iOS and android but the web version is yet to receive the feature. Probably the feature won’t be made available for the web version.
How Data Saver Mode will help Google Meet users across the world
The Data saver mode will be much welcomed by many users because in the current situation many people are doing work from home and students are attending online classes. Google meet is one of the best-used platforms for video conferences meetings and online classes. The covid surge has put limitations on travel and everything has to be intersected online. Team meetings, presentations and everything are now online. An online class or meeting may be of many hours and the rising data cost and FUP limits of network providers make things hard.
The Data Saver app also addresses 2 other major issues faced by people. On turning on the limit data usage option, Google Meet will now be using a lesser amount of resources, hence saving a considerable amount of battery which will be a significant amount during long hours of video conferences. A lesser amount of resource usage also means reducing the heat on the devices. Hours of video conferencing can definitely heat up many devices. With the new feature, there is a relaxation to this heating issue also.
We recommend you turn on the limit data usage feature for your future video conferencing.
Hope the above discussion on Activate Data Saver Mode on Google Meet helps you can save a small amount from your monthly internet bill.
Thanks.
