Adding a new ability for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro users, Google is now rolling out a feature that will let enable speaker separation for meetings on Google Meet. Once turned on, the feature will let the user hear the audio of other participants from different directions based on their position on the screen, thus, making it easier to distinguish different speakers and hear where they’re coming from for a more immersive, dynamic experience, the company has announced.
Google, in a blog post, has provided a screenshot, which seems to be taken from the Google Meet app, and the settings page has a few changes, such as the new “Audio” and “Video” section headers. However, a report in 9to5Google mentioned that the Google Meet speaker separation was not spotted on several Pixel 7 devices that were checked by the publication. It is likely that the tech giant rolls out the capability in the coming weeks globally.
It is not yet clear if the feature will become available for older Pixel models or other Android devices.
To recall, the Google Pixel 7 Pro runs the latest Android 13 OS and is powered by the same Tensor G2 SoC that powers the vanilla Pixel 7 model as well. The device sports 12GB of RAM. The Pixel 7 Pro sports a 50MP primary sensor coupled with a 12MP secondary sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens and a 48MP telephoto lens. For selfies, there is a 10.8MP selfie camera. The display is a 6.7-inch Quad-HD (3,120 x 1,440 pixels) LTPO OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz.
The Google Pixel 7 Pro features up to 256GB of inbuilt storage. Connectivity options on the Pixel 7 pro are Wi-Fi 6E, 5G, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC and a USB Type-C port for charging.
