How to Share Screen and View Participants in Google Meet

[@jehanr]

it's crazy that this is so hard in google meet!

Yep, I pay for Zoom due to this very annoyance. I was hoping that there was a change and I could save my company a grand every year... Oh well.

Thank you very much for this video. I have been using Zoom for online teaching last 3 years. Now I have switch to Google Meet, I am literally shocked to see that I cannot control my presentation on the same screen as the Google meet. I thought I was missing something but this video proved that this is a missing feature on Google Meet... If I have to control my presentation I need to switch to that Tab than I cannot see my students... I hope Google will do something about it.

So wild. I've been able to use 2 monitors for ever using google meet and sharing slides in one tab on one monitor and setting up the left monitor with the room view as you describe. All of a sudden going into "slide show" mode for Google Slides is NOW taking over both monitors.

Thanks Anson for this very useful video. It's nice to see you back on youtube 👍

If these are the best solutions then Google Meet has catching up work to do.

This is so basic, why don't they change that. I rarely use Google meet

[@yuriyarin4027]

Isn't there any way to do it like Zoom or Teams?

[@cmosdriver]

He Anson - Is there a way to minimize the participants on your screen when another person is sharing their screen? I don't see an option to do so - so every time another person shares, only about half of my screen is dedicated to showing me their content and the other half is all of the faces of the participants - so of course that makes it much harder to see any details of what's being shared to everybody that's part of the meet. Hope you're able to help me out. Thanks!

Or you can use picture-in-picture mode within the Google Meet options.

How then do you admit students who are joining late?

How to do this on a phone

It's absolutely absurd that Google Meet does this. Absolutely ridiculous.
