Options in Google Meet

Once you are in the Google Meet, you have several options available that you can find by tapping on the screen. This will pull up a menu from the bottom:

  • Tap on the red button that looks like a phone to leave the meeting

  • Tap on the camera icon to turn your camera on or off

  • Tap on the microphone to mute or unmute yourself

  • Tap on the three dots to see more options, like to share your screen or view chat

When you are ready to leave the meeting, tap on the red button to end the call. You will see an option to rate the sound and video quality. This is optional, but gives us data that we can use to pinpoint problems.
