My daughter will start using Meet since this Monday. They were receiving live classes from KZbin, but strange kids started to molest them and the teacher also. So they decided to try MEET. And as a smart mom, I'm learning how it works, and looks easy and with your explanation even easier!! So THANK YOU!

Is there a way that you can "Present" your screen or a window in Google Meet AND see the members of your Meet at the same time? While using this tool with my students, I like being able to present to them, and I want to see them also, in case I want to call on one of them to answer a question.

[@primeyae]

Yea

[@taggartlm]

Not that I am aware of...because they would be seeing themselves also if you saw them on your screen and then shared it.

[@andreaurias5856]

Hi, I first I would like to say thank you for this explanation. I have a quick question: if I have a power point presentation for the students, can I do share? And they can see the PowerPoint? Thank you. I think I know the answer but I would like to double check.

[@laurenrichardson8725]

Yes, you would just share your screen with them with the powerpoint up. If you don't intend to have them participate and instead just lecture, I would recommend Screencastify for that.

So welcome! The "mute all" feature will be coming towards the end of next week from what I hear. Currently you can mute participants individually as they come in however or have them mute themselves.

Hi Lauren! Your KZbin video was so helpful. Today I had my first Google Meet with my class. I had trouble at the end actually ending it. The kids were still on when I closed. How do you end it so the kids aren't still chatting when the lesson/activity is over? Thanks!

[@laurenrichardson8725]

Jamie Cohen so glad! Currently there is no way to end it but I know google is working on solutions and they did not anticipate the K-12 need to come so quickly! From what I have heard, some features teachers have been asking for will be released at the end of next week. I’ll keep you posted! We just tell our students that the teacher should be the last person to leave the “room.”

[@suzannebrown8135]

Great tutorial. Does the teacher (or whoever initiates the meeting) have the only control over what each user sees in their screen? Or can the students manipulate who/what they're seeing as well?

[@laurenrichardson8725]

The kids cannot manipulate anything amongst themselves in terms of what they are viewing. They can only share their screen with all or none of participants so the teacher will always know what is being seen by the group. The only reason they would not see what the teacher is presenting is if they "pin" someone as their main screen.

[@NancyMcCurry]

Love your video. Do I need to allow each student in (like they knock on the door) or does the link simply allow them an automatic "seat" in the classroom?

[@laurenrichardson8725]

Nancy M as long as they have the link to join they are good! The only time you have to “accept” people is if they are outside of your school google domain.

[@michaelakins5033]

Question & Comment: Very helpful, Lauren. I'm guessing you used Camtasia to record this well done overview. Right? I would also say the reason this seems so clear is that is just your style as a talented teacher. But would you mind sharing whether you just used the built in mic and webcam or something else? Again, thanks for a timely review of Meet.

[@laurenrichardson8725]

Yes I did! Good eye! I just just the built in mic on my computer but have this one or order that my colleague uses that offers incredibly clear audio: www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-Condenser-Microphone-Cardioid/dp/B014PYGTUQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3LFEAQTQTJAAO&dchild=1&keywords=snowball+microphone&qid=1584624264&sprefix=snowball+m%2Caps%2C235&sr=8-4

When presenting and sharing your screen, if the presentation has a video, it would not be heard by others if your are using a windows laptop, as you can't unmute your shared screen. Big PRoblem if you're a teacher with video presentations. This does not happen with chrome laptops though

Lauren may have a different answer for this so I defer to her (btw, great tutorial!), but if your school system uses Canvas LMS you can create your own permanent link that the kids would go to each time you have class.
