This feature requires having the Admin quality dashboard access privilege.
Use the Meet quality tool (MQT) to troubleshoot your organization’s Google Meet meetings and identify the root cause of issues. For example, you can see an overview of meeting metrics, find and debug meetings, view network statistics (jitter, packet loss, and congestion), network connection delay (RTT), microphone level and received audio level, or view system (CPU) statistics. The MQT is a troubleshooting tool, not a real-time monitoring tool, so some metrics may be delayed.
The MQT saves data for 30 days. For more information, go to Data retention and lag times.

If given or used, the average rating feedback from participants and information about live streaming appears in this section as well. Live stream views are counted anytime someone joins the meeting to watch. For example, a single user who joins and leaves multiple times has multiple views. Note: When people connect from 3rd-party devices (interop gateways), their screen sharing feeds don't look like standard screen sharing feeds. They look like regular video feeds to other participants. |

You can grant access to the Meet quality tool by creating a custom admin role and assigning it to users. This is useful when you want to let users troubleshoot meeting quality without giving them other Admin console privileges. After you assign the custom role, users can access the tool only with the direct link and not through the Admin console.
You need to be a super administrator to give users access to the Meet quality tool. For details, go to Grant access to manage Meet settings.
