Sure, they can mute their mic, but it doesn\u2019t help when it\u2019s their turn to speak and you hear their cat chasing a mouse in the background. Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/google-meet.en.softonic.com\/web-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Meet<\/a> added <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/meet\/answer\/9919960?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noise cancellation features<\/a> to assist with this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re meeting via PC, Android, or iPhone, you\u2019ll have access to this handy function. It all depends on your location, though. While initially launched in September 2020, it\u2019s still rolling out to various regions while testing is ongoing. If you\u2019re in an online conference and don\u2019t see the option, it could be that it\u2019s not available in your country as yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Google Meet Noise Cancellation\" class=\"wp-image-172592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/Google-Meet-Noise-Cancellation-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the tool is only available to specific <a href=\"https:\/\/workspaceupdates.googleblog.com\/2020\/09\/filter-out-disruptive-noise-in-google.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Workspace<\/a> packages, such as G Suite Enterprise, Business Plus, and Education Plus, to name a few. <strong>The app turns the feature off by default, so you\u2019ll need to set it up before or during the meeting<\/strong>.
