Google has unveiled a significant update to its Google Meet platform, now allowing external participants without Google accounts to join client-side encrypted calls. This move represents a crucial stride in balancing user accessibility with stringent security measures.
For organizations handling sensitive information, this update holds particular significance. By enabling client-side encryption for external participants, Google Meet ensures secure communication for all parties involved, irrespective of their email domain.
The inclusion of non-Google account holders in encrypted calls is facilitated through a system where these users receive unique links and passcodes, maintaining encryption standards while ensuring ease of access.
This update streamlines collaboration with external stakeholders, reinforcing trust in Google Meet as a secure platform prioritizing both security and functionality.
