Google Meet: 3 Ways to See Your Students when Presenting your Screen

[@veggirl1964]

And this is why I used Zoom for distance learning. There are no complicated directions or finagling involved. When I share my screen, I can still see my students and they can still see me. This is super important when dealing with students who have disabilities.

[@animaloftheday181]

But how do you show your desk. People have different needs I guess. One would need to Share a document or if it is art show the desk with hands drawing while showing screen and face. Etc

[@shannonmills1422]

I've come back to this video about 3 times this year when things go wrong...thank you so much! From a frazzled old-school teacher. :)

[@STomBoy11]

Eric, you have SUCH a great teacher voice. Your passion for teaching comes through even with this tutorial. : )

[@paulhansen8717]

Absolutely clear! I have sat through four or five hyper computer geek types trying to explain this. watched this video once and violla, many thanks

[@nathanfarrugia4778]

Similar to the third point, you can use split screen mode to have the meet on one side and your presentation on the other. Windows Key (or Command on Mac) plus the left and right arrow keys with your window selected.

[@DK-jy4jb]

GREAT VIDEO -- I have seen too many other videos that don't *show* what the user sees behind the desk (they just show a screen and say, "This is what __ sees."). This video starts right from the beginning and shows a photo of actual monitors sitting on a desk, and has a very clear set of explanations that anyone can follow. Thanks!

[@adrianatorres7436]

Great video! For the third option, you can close your chat and have everybody on the sidebar (this is one of the scheme options) and you'll be able to see their faces without having to go from one window to the other. If you see any of the students typing you can open the chat again to see if they have any questions.

[@mathspike]

Very elegant solutions. I can use my laptop now to see my students while teaching. Thanks Eric!

[@samosa5925]

I really like your video. Even I haven't finished watching it completely, I want to say thank you for the clear and calm voice. I am tired of people presenting in a rush as if they all had Red bull drink.

[@TracyW-me8br]

The last one with one monitor helped so much. Thanks!

[@troykubly7666]

Eric...you do an amazing job explaining everything in your videos. You are by far my favorite Google presenter! I love Meets and your videos help me learn so much!

[@pascaleboucher1756]

I love your videos! I'm a teacher in a french school. I'd like to use your 3 ways to see your students and make a french video for my coworkers.

[@shaimabasuni6901]

Thank you so much ! I struggled today when I was presenting a lesson! I felt that zoom is doing a better job than google meets. But our district doesn't support it!

[@rambocool69]

absolutely

[@NilsFerry]

Thanks, man. That was a big help for me, coming over from Zoom.

[@cynthiarivera4762]

Thank you so much. I had thought about using 2 monitors was not quite sure how it worked but your video really helped to explain. Thank you and I will be sharing it with my colleagues.

[@budabebe100]

Incredibly helpful....now let’s see. Easy to listen to for this old gal 🙏🏻

[@matthewhugo4382]

Great job! I'm now using a laptop and Chromebook and it works beautifully!

[@dsz3199]

Thank you Eric! So detailed and clear, loved it!

[@shahramersali4151]

I really liked the way you combined all three methods in one video. Brilliant and very easy to understand and follow. I use the second method as I have been given a Samsung Tablet A from work. I use it as the portable item to do more with my own single desktop and a 27" monitor. I even tried to have a laptop that is lent to me as the third device, but my bandwidth could not handle 4 people at home on 6 devices. I hadn't thought of the 3rd method because I have had extra devices to use. But it makes sense resizing and moving the windows to be able to see more, especially if one has a lot of real estate in a large monitor. If I lose my 2nd or 3rd device, I will use the 3rd method.

[@irairod5160]

I only have one device, so I'll be trying option 3. Many thanks for sharing these tips!

[@fyl24]

This is the cleverest thing I've ever seen! And if Imanage to pull this off, I'll be just as clever💪🏾 Thank you!

[@AnthonyFrancisJones]

Excellent Eric! Brilliantly explained. We are all using it here to teach and you have fixes to some of the issues we have come across. Generally our pupils are working really well with their remote learning which is great news. Many thanks.

[@ArrancarMaiden]

My gosh thank you so much for sharing! My school switched from Zoom to Google meets for distance learning and not being able to see my students when sharing my screen was the big thing I was concerned about. This is definitely going to come in useful.

[@b.renemcneil7182]

I had no clue had to even get started thank you for a great presentation

[@sherrywheaton4945]

I have a second monitor now but would love a third. Thanks for the tips......very useful.

[@alyssaayala4515]

Your explanations are so easy to follow! I can totally tell you’re a great teacher in the way you break everything down and the inflection in your voice! Thank you! I just subscribed!

[@katielee2726]

I love your tutorial videos! So very helpful and clear. Thank you!

[@nancycharlow8015]

You are amazing. I usually don’t understand things but u make it easy

[@marianneskinner1237]

Thank you for your really helpful video: so clearly explained.

[@tobyjohnson3968]

Well done Eric - this was just the fix I needed for monitoring my chat while presenting to my class. Super helpful! Oh and you're a really good teacher too.

[@amcfv]

Hi. Thanks for your effort. You can use the google dualless extention to make the same of your third option. It's what I use now.

[@resylparpa5639]

simple, clear and organized tutorial but so helpful..thank you sir.

[@bhunter1234]

This was very helpful. Thanks.

[@1akadiva086]

After watching tons of videos your tutorial was the BEST breakdown on how to share screen . Thx so much 😌

[@rosalindbrinson6962]

Thank You!! Your videos are so helpful. I'm a teacher teaching online and on google meet is all new to me. Thank you so much!!

[@vaishalib5400]

Wow i learnt more methods to teach n connect with students!! Thanks

[@bonniekastnerstewarthelen8335]

Great resource provided very very helpful.

[@janetsaxon4701]

Your videos are the clearest and easiest to follow. Thank you!

[@aishamohammad]

May also try dualless extension. Works like option 3.

[@thevoyager3793]

Very informative! Thanks sir!

[@jlo38]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@mickeymoffett8245]

Thanks for making our 'new normal' a bit more manageable.

[@madalainewest-evans288]

Thank you soooo much. Very helpful

[@dcthomas99]

You are doing such a great job with these videos. They are so easy to follow and they always seem to come right on time, just one day after I ask the question: "How do I.....?" With option 2, I find I get significant screeching and sound feedback even if I mute the microphone on the second device. iPad with chromebook. Is there a sound setting I should be turning off or on to avoid this? I found an old monitor and am using option 1 now and it is working great, but I am helping many teachers who don't have a second monitor and have tried option 2 to no avail due to the screeching audio feedback loop. Thanks for helping!!

[@melinapallo5259]

You should connect your earphones to the second device so that it doesn't make that noise.

[@noobkalboplays1162]

THANK YOU! Very Helpful...

[@monavaid6556]

Thanks a lot sir. You explain everything nicely.

[@elenaskakun5813]

Thank you so much, this is so helpful! It seems to me that that Zoom and Skype are easier to use for teaching: no double screens, no double devices

[@Chrissanthumum]

Thank you.Power to the teachers.We can keep an eye on those with questions and valuable contributions while keeping an eye on the troublemakers who might think we can't see who's disrupting or typing foolishness in the chat.Thank you Sir.

[@denisebrown5979]

Hello! Your videos are really helping me with google classroom. Thanks for sharing!😎

[@debbieexcell5088]

Thanks for option 3 Your content was related in such a way that I could understand. The demonstration was straight forward. The tone of voice used helped to calm my nerves and settled me. Overall the goal of using Google classroom efficiently now appears to be within my reach. 👍🏻❤️

[@emmanuellesuarez3538]

Thanks for the information! So useful!

[@phancheikuan6565]

It's very good video. Simple yet clear.

[@ejlaguardia82]

Thank you. You are awesome!

[@gastromacho2]

Thank you. This is clear and very useful sir... Respect to you

[@sarahlogan8790]

This whole series is very helpful. Great instructional design. Thank you!

[@karenvanherpen3915]

Great advice, thank you!

[@lorimurphy6165]

So I have 2 laptops and logged in to my google meet just like you said. When I present my screen, my second laptop shows the presentation and I can only see about 4 students. Basically I am seeing what my students are seeing. What am I doing wrong ?

[@tommlavil]

Move the mouse over the presentation in the second laptop and unpin it.

[@vaishaligudadhe7447]

Very simple language and explaination windows to use for multitasking

[@angielong6189]

Thanks so much! This is very helpful!

[@interestingvideossewingand8902]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@andrewhunter5741]

Great - really helpful. Thank you.

[@gracebolos505]

Wow. Nice Clip. Very helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@angelahouston8461]

Great job! Very comprehensive. I love how you walked us through the examples.

[@doloresmueses411]

Great video. Thanks!

[@RosmayaMokhtar]

Thank you for the idea

[@alicewatsonstewarthelen2091]

Great video and information!

[@patriciaorozco-rosas3830]

Thank you! I'm glad I FINALLY found someone who can answer my question!

[@suzymuffin9144]

I can't use google slides and see the kids at the same time. I have to keep flipping in and out of google meet then back to the slides. Can I do both?

[@syamsulzahri]

The same with me. If we click 'present' in the Google Slide, the whole screen of the laptop will display the slide page, and unable to see the chat window in the Google Meet.

[@XavierUdayakumar]

GREAT VIDEO .THANK YOU

[@peterbyrden4066]

Thanks Eric well explained for beginners

[@SundeepGawande]

Very very useful video!

[@juliemoore1425]

Wow. You have done a great job of fixing Google's problems. I like Google, but why can't they make it easy like Zoom does?

[@jesss2145]

These are helpful. I may try connecting a little TV monitor to my laptop at some point. I'm looking for something similar to the third option (no extra monitor). The problem I'm having is that when I use the 3rd option, students cannot see the screen I am sharing well, it is too small. I have to make my presentation full screen so they can see, but then I can't see them. I'm looking for a solution to this issue!

[@randifoust6965]

This was so helpful! I wanted to know if there is a way to present my screen with myself pinned, or a second window of some kind, to ensure my students all see what I am teaching large on their screen while still keeping an eye on them ? I keep trying to different ways but nothing seems to work.

[@patriciamcsweeney8490]

I really love your presentations, everything looks so easy with your great and clear explanations. Thank you very much. This particular video had helped me so much with the screen presentation, nobody else explained how to do it. Thank you so much. I will watched again and again until I mastered before we go back to school.

[@laurenhummel-lehfaculty1671]

Great information!

[@merlasiapian3181]

Thank you Sir this video is very informative and helpful.

[@jesusesparza2564]

Great video, thanks!!!

[@Chepel79]

Thanks my friend for sharing your findings 😀👋👍

[@bbx2206]

oooh, very helpful thanks a lot brother

[@twood3000]

Thank you, this is a life saver this fall!!

[@chantelleseehawer4714]

amazingly helpful!

[@rose-marielewis4717]

Very useful; thank you.

[@admagnificat]

These videos are fantastic! Thank you for all of the hard work that you put into making them! Here is a question regarding this video: You could also snap your Meet tab to, say, the left half of the screen, and your content tab to the right half of the screen, could you not? Splitting your screen that way? It's not ideal, but it could be done, am I right?

[@kathleensheehan1491]

Great videos! I have referred to them many times since starting distance teaching. I see that it's been asked her twice- is there a setting or a fix for the significant screeching and sound feedback even when you turn off the mic of the second device when using the 2nd option?

[@yogashruti_]

great help thanks

[@carolyndurso3740]

Help! The Grid View extension is gone. What now? Google has grid view but not without the presentation showing that I can find. My students have all learned hand signals vigilantly and now I can only see 12 of them at a time! Crisis mode happening to this teacher over here.

[@jilldamm1534]

VERY HELPFUL!!!

[@mariamorrison2207]

Fantastic video. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you.

[@reinaortega5982]

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! I'm now using 3 devices: one to teach/present, the second to see my students and the third as a camera to show them what Im writing in real time.

[@aprilnafeh2503]

You are the most fun to listen to! Thank you for sharing !

[@judithgjennings]

I’m getting a lot of feedback by joining with my IPad to the meeting. This is true if I turn off volume, etc at the device level and the app. ANy thoughts anyone?

[@wendysantana1639]

This is such a great video, I was trying to figure out how to monitor the chat area while teaching and only have one device. Thanks

[@monikapal8426]

thank you .I found something useful

[@ThePhantomCoder]

Wow you really are one of a kind... Nice video! But hey, I have a question Is there an option to disable the camera of all members of aa call and if there isint do you think Google will add this option?

[@clairesmuts9308]

If you're in a domain that can be set as the default in the Admin console when they join the chat - I've set all our students to have no video when joining a Meet for example. They can turn it back on, but that way it's at least off when everyone joins.

[@ManuZombie]

Thank you very much!! I've been looking for some creative solutions instead of downloading and intalling a bunch of extensions that don't work properly and frustate me, so kudos!!

[@kenjones5987]

Very helpful - thx.

[@durneygirl]

Hi Eric. Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful in the world of distance learning. I tried to use my iMac and my MacBook at the same time. onto present and the other to watch. the kids. I turned the audio off on the MacBook and aimed to present on the IMac. I got terrible feedback. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. I have a district supplied Chromebook, but it's so small to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@3Annan]

Lovely... thanks a million

[@prowsedarlene6629]

This didn't work for me. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I dragged my content window to a separate monitor. When I present, instead of just seeing my students, on half of the screen, I see the present window. I can only see a limited number of kids. Please help.
