This feature requires having the Admin quality dashboard access privilege. If you don't have this privilege, ask your IT administrator.
What's causing your meeting issues? You can find out using the Meet quality tool (MQT). For example, you can see:
- Network statistics (jitter, packet loss, and congestion)
- Network connection delay (RTT)
- Microphone level and received audio level
- System (CPU) statistics
Admins or users in your organization with the Admin quality dashboard access privilege can use the MQT to:
- Sort and filter meeting data
- Look at specific meeting stats
- See a timeline of events
- Learn more about live streams that use Meet eCDN
Note: The MQT is a tool for fixing problems, not for watching things in real-time. This means some of the information might be delayed.
The MQT saves data for 30 days. For more information, go to Data retention and lag times.

You can see Meet eCDN data for your meeting streams. If a meeting is recurring, each session has its own data. Data is always grouped by network name and retained according to the Workspace data retention policy. The available metrics are:
- Enablement rate: The percentage of devices that can join a P2P network based on their network settings.
- Savings rate: The percentage of traffic that viewers get from peers instead of the original media server.
- Media fallback rate: The percentage of viewers that go back to the original media server because P2P media quality or availability isn't good enough.
Admins can also get more data from APIs. For details, go to Google Meet Audit Activity Events.
