You can now force people to shut up (and stay shut up) in Google Meet

The age of video conferencing brought on by the pandemic has made meetings easier to attend, and maybe best of all, acceptable to do so remotely. But it can also be as convenient as it is chaotic, and when you're in a Google Meet room with a big crowd of people (whether it's work-related or just involving friends and family), there's always the risk you've got to deal with that one guy who doesn't know how to turn off his mic — or worse, he's actively interrupting the host just for the sake of being annoying. While kicking people out has always been an option, as well as temporarily muting them, Google Meet is now adding a feature that allows you to lock that mute for the duration of a call.
