Google Workspace admins can now set custom policy text for the Green Room. The message appears before users join Google Meet calls. Admins can include a URL for more policy details. They can choose to show it always or only when recording, transcription, or Gemini notes are active. The feature is off by default. It applies to Business, Enterprise, Education, and Frontline Plus plans. Rollout began on November 2, 2026, with extended visibility.
