This includes notifications from Google Chat, email notifications, and other third-party websites.
“There has been a dramatic shift in how many of us work – now more than ever, we’re relying on the use of Google Meet and other screen sharing solutions. We hope this feature will reduce distractions and prevent sensitive or personal information from accidentally being displayed while sharing your screen,” Google said in a blog post.
When users are done sharing their screen, all muted notifications will be automatically displayed. The tech giant already mutes notifications when sharing a tab in Google Meet.
There is no admin control for this feature.
