In April,columbia's sex island video Google Meet added support for 1080p video, allowing users to look a little less pixelated if their webcam supported it, but only in one-on-one calls.
Now, the 1080p option has been added in meetings with three or more participants.
The feature is off by default; you'll be prompted to turn it on as you enter a meeting, or you can set it to on or off permanently in the settings menu.

There's still a small catch here. According to Google, 1080p video is only sent "when one or more users are pinning the 1080p-enabled user on a screen large enough to render the 1080p video feed". Furthermore, 1080p video will only work if you have enough bandwidth to support it.
