How to Use Google Meet - Detailed Tutorial

hi there Jamie key here today a teachers tech today I want to show you hang outs meet I want to show you where you can access hangouts meet from how you start an access meet and how do you give you some tips to get the best experience out of this for you and for your users let's start with how to access your hangout meet now I'm gonna go up to the app launcher and I'm going to show you a few different ways to do this and this is the Google Apps as these nine squares here and as I click on this you can see Google here it is right here meet if and you also see hangouts now we're not using hangouts and this is going to be disappearing in the accounts like your business account or your school accounts and it's going to be just going to meet you're gonna see hangouts in your free account if you want to learn about hangouts I have a different video about that I'll put the link down below in the description or the card above but we're dealing with meats here now I can go ahead and click on this and if it's not at the top if you're accessing this lot you can drag these around and put them in the place that you want so I'm just gonna go ahead click on meats and it opens up now notice that it is just meat Google com you could just type that in and you're gonna get to that now another way that I like to join meat is to help me keep organized if I just go to my Google Calendar here I'll just click on here and I'm just gonna click a random day here and let's say I have a meeting tomorrow I'm trying to plan if I go to to create a date on this one and I go ahead and title it you can see there's conferencing here I can add a hangouts meat to it and then it's gonna give them that connection inside their calendar and I like doing it that way just to help keep you know keeping things in my calendar and other people's calendars so just a way to to do that here but I'm gonna go back to Google meat here and as I said you could just type this in so at this point now the great thing about using Google meat is you don't have to have a Google account to access this you can send this out even a person from Skype organizations you can be sending them the link to this and they can access it all they need is a web browser or else the app on their phone and they're good to go so let's start by just creating a meeting here and showing you all the different things that you can do inside of this okay so you can see right away join or start a meeting now I have both options that's because I'm logged in to my education encounter if I was logged into my business account you would see both these options I'm just gonna bring over this window here and this is a different gmail account you can see how the icon this is my just my gmail com my free one notice I can join a meeting but I can't start a meeting from here you can only start it from if you're part of the organization and your administrator has to make sure that they've turned that on for people so if you don't see it ask your administrator to know maybe if they forgot or if they have a reason for not using it but I'm just going to go ahead and hit join or start a meeting here click on this and I'm just gonna name this and I'll just call this teachers Tech and I'm gonna hit continue now if you get this little notification up top here and usually the first time you will and in other people it will say do you want to give access to your microphone and to your to your webcam make sure you hit allow don't blow hit block because if you hit block then you won't be able to see this so a lot of times people just instinctively hit block because they think that's what they're supposed to do but make sure they hit allow on those now you can see some options here you can control on and off from these buttons if I click the video camera off and then I can click it back on again we can access it there we have more options right through here so where we have captions and settings but when I get into it when I start I'll show you where to where we can turn on captions from a different place - now I'm gonna the first example I just want to show you maybe you just want to present your screen you can do that you can just hit present here so I'm just gonna go ahead hit present now and then what I would do is pick do I want my entire screen or application window I'm on dual monitor here so I have two different things I would just select select and hit share and then that's what I would be presenting from there now I'm just gonna hang up on this one and return to my home screen and I'm just gonna click on this again and I'm just type in teachers tech again because I want to do it differently and you're gonna see the camera and everything pick up here now we can dial in join using a phone and you could if you have you could see if you have a dial in you just pick the country and everything that you're from and you'll get a number from it and that usually goes out on the invite too so people know how to access it that way but I'm just gonna close this I'm gonna hit join now and at this point I can add people from here I don't have to have people I can do it later on I could take this link right here I could copy this and it's going to give this and I could send it out in an email where people can easily phone in or copy it and this is where I like making the calendar options so all the information is inside the Google Calendar I can add people to this too so if I was gonna go I'll just add a couple people here and hit Send and then those two people would get the invite notice that the camera is a little bit blurry I'm going to show you where you can I change some of those options and in your setup and things that we can do inside of this alright so I just want to give it a little tour of the interface here and before I go into anything I just want to show you because if you were just starting a meeting you might want to record it these little dots here where there's more options and I'll come back to some of the other things on this you can go ahead and hit record the meeting and then it'll be saved to Google Drive now this is something again your administrator would have to turn on its off by default and they would have to allow that to be happening but you can record your meeting okay so just a little tour of this if I go over on the left hand over here I'm gonna open this up you can see the details of the meeting I can copy the joining info and send it out from there if I have attachments in Google Calendar and this is why I like using Google calendars I can go ahead and put the attachment and set everything up in an event from there and everybody's on the same page it really keeps things organized so I do recommend using that now I'm just going to go across this is very similar to what I was showing you before I entered into this to this display here but I can turn my mic on and off I can leave the call so when you're done you can leave the call and then we have our option to turn the camera on or off now we have captions over here and I like the use of captions so I'm going to turn captions on and you're gonna see that the words are gonna appear down below me and so people can be reading this so they could maybe even turn off the mic or they turn down the sound if their quality wasn't there and they could read it and you can see it does a pretty good job sometimes there's errors in it but generally it does a pretty good job with picking up what you're saying so I'm gonna go ahead turn the captions off I do think that's a really good option to have we have present now so if I go to present now I'm gonna click on this I can go to my entire screen or a window from here so if I was going to go to the window it shows me all the windows that I have open here and I would just go pick the one I want to show so I would just click on it and hit share then I'm showing and then I can go ahead and be showing my window from that point and it makes it very easy to communicate with people you can just show you show your desktop and then they can watch and learn and they can change it around so definitely a good option to have they're now going I'm just going to go up to the top here this again where you can invite people through here all the people I can add more people here if I wanted to remember they could just click on the link and join that too if I click on this one you can pin the presenter on it so if you click on anybody if someone's presenting so it doesn't go off of someone you can make sure you just pin it so it stays the same so if you click on it it goes off to that way but you'll see as people join the room we have they'll just come through here we also have a chat that you can be sending the messages and it sends it out to everyone so if you're typing something you can see the chat there but it just sends it to everyone through there and it's not something you can turn on and are all the chat so do know that that's gonna exist there and then however you manage the situation if I want this to go away if I just click on the video it just goes back to normal like that so those are some just some points up here it's a pretty simplistic interface I'm just going to go back down to the three dots and here you can see I already mentioned the recording option but we do have change layout so we can click on that we have our different options to pick here if you wanted to change it around I'm just going to close out of that one well we have fullscreen on it so if you click you can see how it goes to fullscreen on it and I can go ahead and scape out of it we could go through you're getting turn captions on from here settings if you wanted to change the quality so we have audio quality you can see where you pick your mics on it when this is moving this is showing that it is working on it I can change my microphone again this is the same as the setup that I showed you prior to even coming into the meeting video it's only at 360 I can change it to now this depends if you're worried about any lag or anything but if I go to 720 you can see there's a send and receive on it so I can make those adjustments and now the quality of the video is at a higher quality you can see from their eyes let's go back and you can see where the use of a phone without for audio and we have a reporter problem or help so other than that your as the other people come in you'll see them down the side I have some other tips that I would have now this when the Hangout gets created or when the meat gets created I I would probably recommend that people leave if you're teaching something or waiting wait for other people to leave because it just stays open right so if you left if any of the other participants are in it they could just stay there and and talk away so you can make sure that's one option that you have so I hope you liked this walkthrough of hangout I've definitely give it a try remember of it's part of an organization this works very well hangouts is still there but that will be in the free accounts only so if you're looking for more Tex or tech tips or tutorial join me next week on teachers tech thanks for watching
