How do we restrict Meet features to a pilot group using feature flags and policy controls?

To restrict Google Meet features to a pilot group, you need to use Google Workspace's built-in controls for user and group management. Unlike custom software development that uses feature flag services like Azure App Configuration or Firebase Remote Config, Google's platform-as-a-service model requires you to leverage its native administrative controls for a managed and secure rollout.

To roll back Meet changes, use the Admin Console to disable recent feature updates, restore previous versions of any related Apps Scripts via the Script Editor’s project history, and revert linked Docs or Slides using Version History. Also, check and reset editor permissions as needed.

The KPIs that show whether Meet enhancements are improving document quality and time-to-finish are:

• Document completion time.
• Number of revisions.
• Task completion latency.
• User adoption of Meet features (like AI notes).
• Content quality ratings.

Legal and compliance teams can use Google Vault to eDiscover Meet content stored in shared drives, such as recordings and chat logs, by applying holds and retention rules to Drive data and searching within Vault.

Governance controls comprise Admin Console settings to restrict Meet AI features by administrative unit, adaptive access control, and trust rules to limit external sharing. Use DLP policies and data regions to ensure AI data stays within verified domains and complies with regulatory requirements.
