Changes to Knocking in Google Meet

Two changes have been made to “knocking” (requesting to join a meeting) in Google Meet to reduce disruptions in education meetings.

First, if a meeting moderator rejects a knock twice from the same participant, the participant will be blocked from knocking again. This means the moderator won’t see any additional knocks from that user for the duration of the existing meeting.

Second, if the moderator ejects a participant, that participant will be unable to:

• Rejoin the existing meeting (even if they are in-domain or on the calendar invite).
• Knock to request rejoining the existing meeting.
